The One Who Counts Mostby
sohappy_02Comment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Cute picture of your baby girl, I suspect she will have to get used to having her picture taken for challenges :-)
Lighting looks to be ambient, composition is pretty straightforward, your settings are fine for the subject. However the choice of blankie in b/w - and contrasting patterns with stripes in foreground and spots in background - lends a coldness to the shot which is at odds with how you feel about your child. A blanket in a warmer tone, even the archetypal soft pink for a little girl, would add both depth and warmth. A more colourful top on her (so long as it didn't have a busy pattern) may have helped too.
So overall a pleasant portrait, good technique, just think a little more in terms of the concept, what you a a proud/loving parent, want to convey to the viewer.
Keep up the good work and keep shooting!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
Susan
