My Daughter

C&C appreciated

Nice focus and depth of field! It just a little washed out and needs some contrast to make it pop. Good job.

NJ

I would like it more if she was leaning her a little more forward and her hands down so it is not a full frontal shot- or just have her legs angled or ankles crossed.
Please do not think I am being crude, this is part of poseing that I myself have to be careful of. She is absolutely beautiful.

I'm wondering if you like the increased contrast here better?

And thank you for the posing suggestions...that's really helpful. I hated taking such a "open" shot but didn't know how else to get that casual, natural look AND make it a bit more modest.

I do like the increased contrast- but not everyone will... but then again who cares- if you like it and/or the client does then $$$rock on

The increased contrast is better, but now her face is a little too blown out. Maybe if you make a selection around everything except her face, and try that again, it may work better. But I also agree that if the client likes it, thats all that really counts!

Not bad, I liked the increased contrast but like NJ said, her face for a bit hot...keep it up. The pose, well it works but not sure something I would have tried, the pose is sort of masculine to me? But cute girl and nice capture none the less.

I like it a lot. The edit is a definite improvement as well.

I think you did a nice job of capturing her.

I actually like the pose. I'm at work, so could be my monitor, but her skin looks a little too red/magenta to me? My personal taste would be an edit somewhere in between the first and the second. I'd bring the highlights down a little, but keep the shadows where they are, but that's just my taste.

the photography is fine...the only thing that needs help is the posing. The pose would probably be called a crotch shot if it had been a dude instead.

somebody posted this link awhile back...it really helped me on posing people for portraits
