portrait of my daughter

Still getting the hang of pp. And, photos that look good on my home computer look oversaturated at work. Let me know if I need to tone it down?

Looks a little bright to me.

Too much smoothing too. The skin needs more texture.

Q

I think the biggest problem is the camera angle. You were a bit too low, giving her the half-closed eyes and a kind of up-the-nose look. With the bad angle and her kind of half smile, it makes me think she just took a hit off a joint. I don't mean to offend, but that's the impression I get.

Also, lighting looks to me like on-camera flash. Need to use off-camera flash or bounced flash for better results.

She's a nice looking kid. Keep practicing with her.

Agree with the comment about the skin. Looks unnatural. Its smooth in a surreal way and then it makes the freckles on her forehead pop out in a weird way.

Thanks for the critique. I have been trying to improve the processing tonight, but I've looked at it too long. Have to stop for now.
