My Daughter

Hi Gareth,

You have a lovely daughter. Well shot.

I like the use of the outdoor pipe like structure for framing purposes.

Upon enlargement, there was some ISO noise remaining in the image and I reduced it a bit more.

Best Regards,  Mike

Gareth, Nicely done!  I'll start lugging a pipe with me everywhere.

Jerry :)

Thanks for the comments, I'm new to all this and just learning. Shot was taken in a sculpture park across a pond. Gareth

Mike, what a difference. I have got so much to learn!

Mike's noise reduction also seemd to sharpen the image, which it needed.  My suggestion is to clone out the bright foot as it is distracting.  A cute portrait nonetheless!

My last comment should be white foot (not foor) cloned out.  I sharpened the image this time in photoshop.

John thank you so much for your contribution, I agree it is much better without the foot. I have only just installed PSE9 but as yet don't know how to use it, my winter project is to get the hang of photoshop so that I can make these clever changes. I also have my eye on a D7000 which should be an improvement over my now out of date D60. Thanks again, Gareth
