Looking at the shot again, the eyes and lips have a purplish cast. Some slight adjustments to the charming young baby lady's skin and eyes, to warm them tones up a bit. Otherwise I still stand by my first comment, that I really like this shot and everything else works great here. Really hoped this would do better. But you have a wonderful shot. Must be printed big :)
there are lots of swing captures where the subject looks this good, but few that capture the background elements so perfectly, from suburban dwelling to sun.
This is a well composed (and focused) shot. The heavy background color saturation and the softness of the colors in the foreground (and the smile) are a great contrast. The sunburst is placed nicely as not to interfere with the subject. I hope this scores well.
Aww, shes adorable! I love everything about this photo, especially the background color, but the left upper side looks washed out and that light next to her shoulder is a little distracting.
Fantastic moment and good use of DOF. The baby's face still feels a little flat, and the eyes don't quite pop which would have made this something even more special. 6
I really like these kind of shots. Love the odd angle, the color sgive a great fall feel to it, nice clarity on the child and the sun peeking through adds a nice element. Bumping up to8.
