well, ohio gozaimasu! yoku dekimashita. The shot is a bit saturated for me. Her expression and the pose are both great. Her hand placement is great. I agree with TCguru about the lighting placement and repositioning as the BG light is rather harsh on the hair. Nice work.

Really cool lighting - i like how we can almost but not quite make out his face - i am just not sure about the bright outline behind his head - it is distracting to me

There is a lot of appeal in this image but also some distraction ie the flash reflection in the right lens. I like the hair hanging over the left lens and the meging into the black background

Comment by TCGuru:
Composition: I like his positioning in the frame. But, I like mysterious negative space :)

Lighting/Exposure: I am particularly fond of the kicker light you have there in the back. Though his hat seems to be in perfect focus, his face/shirt seem a little oof.

Pose: This pose is perfect for what you are attempting to convey.

Suggestions for Improvements: Try closing that shutter down to f4 or f5.6 to avoid the oof areas when your camera focuses on the closest object that is lit OR force it to focus where you want it to. I would like to see a rim light, like the one on his hair/hat, on his shoulder/torso as well.

I have your type of camera and used it for over a year and a half. If you have any questions, I would be happy to help. Overall this is an excellent low-key photograph. I see improvement. Keep em comin :)

a beautiful and quiet portrait of the innocence of the young

the choice of crop and composition is really nicely balanced and the lighting is soft - but there is a slightly strange greenish hue that doesn't work for me - a bit warmer and friendlier hue might be in order

Composition: I really like the angle on this.

Lighting/Exposure: You achieved a beautiful soft light by moving that lamp way back :) I also really like the cool lighting, makes it seem like night-time light.

Pose: N/A

Suggestions for Improvements: Actually, none. I rather enjoy the blue/green cast you have going here. I'd like to see this one in B&W as well :) It's very moody.

This daughter is as beautiful as the last! You certainly are lucky to have such cuties :)
