Aww - that is SO cute.

Technically speaking, I think a little stronger contrast would really make the photo "pop".

Looks more like a painting than a photo. Not that that is a bad thing, if that's the effect you're going for.

The moon doesn't look real at all - it's way too sharp. Looks pasted in.

She's adorable. Nice soft photo. Maybe a touch on the underexposed side, but not too much.

Originally posted by bmartuch: Kashi, you did an excellent job on this shot and I think you got robbed. BTW, this is a magnificent portrait shot IMO. How did you set this up to get the lighting like that and the softness?

This was taken in our living room, at night.

In front of him (that's my hubby - bless his heart) is a set of 2 500-watt halogen work-lights on a stand. They're to *my* left.

He's in front of a piece of white seamless paper that is tacked to the wall.

HORRIBLE colour cast. The softness came from what little editing I got to do in Basic. Levels to change the yellow background to white. A bit of noise reduction and gaussion blur.

Crop, resize, and enter - knew it would be blown away. But it was fun.
