I'd have to say, you pretty much nailed this shot. Everything about her says soft, right down to her precious, pointed toes.

This is awesome. You've got great leading lines, wonderful gradient colors, and great framing. Pretty darn unique if I do say so myself.

Pity this is Basic editing. I bet you would have loved to clone out that white spot in the middle and the one in the left corner.

I like that from the thumbnail you can't really see the bug. You say "Ooo.. pretty flower... AHH!.. bug..." At least I did. Basically I like that you shot the flower as if the bug weren't there. The bug is a subtle surprise.

Originally posted by trevytrev: This is a nice shot and the eyes are well done. Compositionally i feel the eyes are too far up in the frame which I feel results in making the nose the focus in the photo when it should be the beautfil eyes. I will agree that the think borders on the sides don't do much for this shot either and if you were going to use a border I might have used a thick one on top and bottom to give this a more cinamatic feel. I didn't vote but I would have given this a 6 or 7.

Very good point about the eyes being high up in the frame and the nose being centered.

I'm not sure why you finished in the 200's with this shot. My shot of a bird at the aquarium finished 163. He had awesome bird hair though, heh.

To me your shot looks pretty sound technically. Maybe it's just too in your face? It feels pretty cramped.

Someone mentioned that the image looked "flat." The edited eyes do a great job of drawing focus, but the rest of the photo does seem flat across the cheeks and nose. This may have something to do with the age of the person? Maybe there's a technique to photographing people that still have a bit of that baby fat softness. Maybe a more dramatic angle of light. Hopefully someone chimes in with how you could have improved your lighting, because I think that's where you're wanting more feedback.

People are really tough on portraits. I think your shot is great. I wouldn't be discouraged if I were you.

This would be great if the girl weren't facing the camera. This looks too posed.

This is a beautiful photo and I love the composition and setting. The Bokeh and colors are wonderful. My only complaint would be the softness of the rock. I think it looks too smooth and almost plastic.

Day 22 - Can I Play Too?

I hope you don't mind, but I had a play at the editing.



I obviously cropped it and added a white border, and I straightened the horizon just a tad. I also tweaked the blacks, whites, and grays in Selective Color. I liked the softness your photo had, but I wanted to see what it looked like sharper, so I played in Smart Sharpen. I didn't like how it looked with my usual default settings, so I put the "Amount" to 50% and threw the "Radius" way out to 30 and had one of those "So that's how they do it!" moments, heh.

Adorable kid and great catch.

I'm absolutely stunned that this isn't on the front page. I made this a favorite the second I saw it, and the more I look the more I love it. Absolutely incredible.

This photo makes me wish I hadn't just got my hair trimmed. You're an inspiration to women everywhere strive for bigger, longer, and more splits in our split ends. This is the most beautiful split end.
