These are my nieces, Paige and Jaimie. The first two were taken at the park near our house on the jungle gym there. Paige was absolutely terrified and wouldn't let go (photo number one) but Jaimie had more fun trying to find our house from up there.
The last one is just a shot I took at Paige's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Snap shot of her playing hide and seek with the other kids.

C & C is welcomed - I already know I cut Paige's feet off in the first photo (soooo cranky with myself for that! :o) but if there's anything else, I'd love to know how I can improve Thanks!

Great images! Love 2 and 3.
May be try "the rule of thirds" when placing the subject in the frame (guilty of that sometimes myself and learning, too)...

Thanks! Yep, using Photoscape I bumped the contrast a little, added a vignette and some bloom.

Very very good point, Didn't even notice! Thank you - might try some cropping a bit later I think!

I really like the second one! I think the lighting on the first one is a bit harsh and distracting though.

Thanks - I agree completely. I wish it had a seat on the other side of the jungle gym to face the sun rather than have it behind! Oh well :)

Another one (My other half and Jaimie) - Too much contrast?

I love the 3rd one, that's one you should definately frame up and get up on the wall. :)

Hi azpix, and thanks.
Bloom is a tool on photoscape which helps reduce shadows. You can pinpoint an area to "bloom" and it will be lighter than the rest of your photo. If that makes sense?! If anyone else has a better explanation, feel free to jump in.

Heya angus! Thanks..and me too! (until I stacked pretty bad once..but that was later and MAY have involved a drink or two). :rolleyes:
The park's actually at the end of my street at Kellyville Ridge.
