little darlings CJ28Nov10-2-8x10

Jeff...This is a lovely image. I can't believe how grown up she is. A really beautiful girl. The first thing I notice is the light. Just perfect, catching that late afternoon sun on her hair. Just enough light on her face too. Her pose is nice too...it looks like there is actually some posing technique going on here...the bends are just perfect. The only things that I find competing for my attention here are the foreground railing. I might give it a closer crop ...not sure as you might lose that great 3/4 height. The other distraction to me would be the tree on the right. I know that you like a natural look to your images without a lot of photoshopping, but you might want to see how it looks without the tree. All in all...great colors, light, model. Nice work!

Thanks Tiffany, just 13 and so much sass...Lord help us!  I played around with the crop like you suggested and agree it helps.  This was more an accident than anything...as is often the case.  We were at this sight attempting to get our family Christmas Card pic and CJ was looking out over the rail to the Missouri River below...I noticed the sun highlighting her hair and called to get her attention...this was the best of several I snapped.  Thanks for the suggestions. 

Wow...that is a seriously happy accident
