New Lens and some portrait test shots....

Got a 50mm 1.8 for my digital camera. So here are a few test shots of my daughter. I know I need to watch for the focus on the eyes.
The skin tones are a little washed out, I had my flash on and didn't turn it down to half power while I was so close. And I was playing with the white blances on some of the shots... BUt I kind of like the effect. I did tweak them a little in photoshop...

Tell me what you think...

I like #'s 1, 4 & 5. The other two are just missing too much detail for me.

Sorry that the critique is so limited, but i know next to nothing about taking portraits (something i hope to change before too long).

They're all overexposed, with the exception of the last one, maybe.

Did you shoot in RAW? You could fix these to some extent with RAW.

The white balance is way off in number two (too cool).

A little curves adjustment in CS2 might help; eg:

HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO

Yeah, I wasn't paying attention to the shutter speed when I took these....I took them with jpeg.

I usually shoot test shots in jpeg. RAW is for everything else.

I was playing around with my white balances to see the different color effests.....

But thanks for the compliments on the framing, etc...

#4 is great!

She has great eyes... great start with the 50mm

i like 1,3 and 4
