Shot this last night of my stepdaughter. I had her give me her best puppy dog eyes. Tried shooting w/ an SB-25 flash for the first time (it was free) so kind of just played around w/ the exposure.

Haha :) Ok, instant pop factor with a nice tight shot like this, so great job there. Also a great job of setting the glasses just right to avoid tons of flash reflection. With a shot this close it is really difficult to keep from blowing things out all over the place and you did a great job keeping that under control. I also really like the choice on depth of field as you can see the pink just start to fade away giving a very pleasing texture to the image. I do think that the hair cutting into the eyes hurts the shot from a challenge point of view, but this picture is worth much more than that. Great shot that I am sure you will enjoy for years.
