I would have cloned out the crates or move to another position for a more uniform background. Other than that I'd say you learned a ton on your first portrait.

This is bizarre. Well done.

Day 4 - Soaking up the Sun

Comment:
Your daughter is adorable. I love how little children emulate their parents (of course that puts a lot of pressure on the parents).

As for this image...I can't believe how you can pull this off in a few minutes at 1am. Nice detail, right down to the fabric in the umbrella. I probably would have blown out the highlights.

Now, I'm not sure if your body language is saying "soaking up the sun" or "it's nearly 1am and I'm beat". Lol.

It's not too hard to copy this...you just right click on the image, hit copy, then paste. I thought all of you already knew how to do that.

Of course, my body aches just looking at this photo.

Good job of creating the 1800s effect you were going for. I am not a huge fan of noise, but in this shot it is perfect. Like the dress too.

Very impressive first image. The eyes, the eyes. They take you right in. And the glasses help set off your eyes. The angle also adds interest. I agree with the softness comments of others, but it doesn't take away from the photo. Well done. I look forward to others during the month...hope you find the time.
