My niece

I accidentally created flare in the lens trying to soften the flash,

which was overexposing my pictures. It ended up creating a nice

effect, and the softened light on the subject seemed to work well, too.

nothing works about this photo. The flash in the corner is distracting and obvious. It is over exposed and has no contrast. The eyes have nice light in them. The little girl is a cutie. the photo is awful

The flash is distracting but it's a cute photo. If you cropped the face out and then photoshopped out the flash that remained, I think you'd have a nice photo of a pretty baby.

I appreciate the glow in her face but the overexposure makes it tough to salvage the otherwise "spiritual feel" to this photo. Throw it in Adobe Photoshop and use it to delete or replace the blue light with something different.

I hope you don't mind but I played around with it a little. I am not that good with Photoshop, you probably can do it much better than me, but this is what I got. She's really a cute baby.

Well done, thank you. TBH, I was going to attempt to edit out the overexposure my self(I have a couple pics like this), but my relatives all said they liked it. Glad to recieve honest opinions. This is a learning experience for me :)
