First shots w/ new 50mm F/1.4 + 2 variations

I just got my 50mm F/1.4. Haven't had a chance to really explore it but caught this candid of my daughter. Opinions on the 2 versions I created below? Too much?

Edit: yes, I know I should brush my daughter's hair!! And next time I'll find a shirt without a bubble liquid stain LOL!

Hmm, out of all of these shots, I like the first one the best. The vignette is alright... but I would like to see what it looks like without it. The B&W makes the grass look like a serious vignette problem or something. Try cropping it out. Last one looks too PPed for my taste. Others might disagree.

they all look a little soft, but with some other enhancements to contrast, wb (little bit of a blue tinge it looks like to me), hue/sat, it will be fine.

Here is the original straight off the camera (RAW > JPEG and resized).

doH! Ok, ok... for the record she does have a brand new tricycle, but she's attached to that one. It does have character, no? I'll have to sneak it in the garbage over winter.

She's a cutie.
Don't throw it away.
I did that once and have never heard the last of it... and she's 26 now.

I really like #1.

She's a cutie, too!
