I love the centered composition of this shot. How everything unnecessary is cut off, leaving only an adorable child. The focus seems right on, which really makes her hair stand out too. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to work on the area around the eyes a bit more. You'd be amazed what just a bit of dodging would do to brighten up that area and make the overall photo that much better. I also do two curves layers for the eyes in a portrait too. For the first one, I select the entire eye, feather the selection 3-10 pixels, depending on the resolution of the photo and size of the eye, and then bring the whole curve up in the middle quite a bit. Then, I select just the iris, feather 1-3 pixels, and do a slight "s" curve, darkening the pupil and increasing contrast in the iris. Just a thought. Other than that, very, very nice work.
Wonderful fill the frame portrait! The smile on the this little girl is brought out front row and center with this close crop facial portrait. She smiles and stares back at us and we, the viewer's, can't help but to smile back. This is a wonderfully expressive photo that really draws us in. Details, lighting, tones and contrasts are all picture perfect in this composition. Excellent job!
Holy cow what a talent you have. This is quite beautiful, and expertly cropped and processed. Why the hell aren't you in my favourites list yet? There, done.
Ohmy GOSH Mia! This is incredible! I LOVE this type of photography! It reminds me of Lesley Goodman or GSAL's work! Who IS this beautiful little girl! I'm going to see if somewhere you've posted a story on her! Maybe on another photo of her?
This is perfect. Emotive. Beautifully processed. And a new favorite to add to my collection!
Wow - what a cute model and how well you have captured her! The details in her braids are fantastic, and the way they spill off to one side really makes for a strong composition. Very well done.
This is the reason I should stick to shooting things and not doing portraits. Wonderful, great expression, tonal range and lighting are great, as is the clarity. Really nice.
