Comments and critiques are appreciated.

 

Thanks

Fantastically sharp and very colourful - excellent! I've thought about using such props myself but wonder whether the bright colours draw the attention away from the child. I like this though!

Great shot! I love the clarity of this. The cathc lights are great. What do you use? I am looking at getting some new lighting or larger softboxes at least.

 

I bet her mother love this shot. It is nice seeing some kid's portraits in the TRP. Congratulations!

Thanks for the comments. Does the pic look too dark by any chance? I just picked up a new LCD monitor, and looked good from that monitor...but now that I'm at work on a CRT, it looks a bit too dark. But its possible that my work monitor isn't calibrated properly.

 

Emily...I just picked up a 3ft x 4ft softbox. This was my first shoot with it. That is the main light in the pic, also the source of the catchlights. Light was about 30degree's to the right, and a little high shooting down slightly. I upgraded from my 28"x28" softbox, and am so glad that I did. I'm thrilled with the results.

 

Again, thanks for taking time to post.

I am looking at it on a LCD screen and it looks perfect to me! The colors pop and the skin tones don't blend into the backdrop.

 

Thanks for answering my question. I will definitely have to upgrade my lighting - soon!

What makes this is the expression. Wow!! What LIFE in those eyes!!! Perfectly captured. You could have put anything in the foreground and still carried this off. I'm almost thinking that all that color detracts from it a bit..

 

but.. that's just picky. VERY well caputured! And the light is just right.. not dark at all on my monitor.
