"UNTITLED"

I am getting worn out on seeing the same type of childrens photo's, the "deer in

headlights" look, same pose, same old muslin backdrop (in sharp focus to boot),

same lighting that never seems to change from subjest to subject

 

So while at the park with my girl friend a woman asked me to shoot a picture of her

and her child (her camera) I had my kit in the car so I offered to shoot a few at no

charge as I have NO experience at photographing children

 

I would very much like you opinion of this shot as a photographer and better yet as a

parent

 

Thank you

I like the framing a lot, but the color is too faded for my taste. However, the little girl looks to be relaxed with you and I love the serious expression.

Aaaah!! How did you DO that while I was making my comment?!

Nice effect and tones. If you only could have gotten her to smile. Nice portrait with a "the look."

This is different and I like it a lot. There is a lot going on in this image and requires one to look, think, and feel. Well done.

 

Take a look at my Golden People Folder, it may give you some ideas. Regards, Howard Dion

I love this effect! I have been trying to achieve it using Photoshop, but don't know how. If you did it that way, or another way, would you be willing to share it with me? email me - griswell@bellsouth.net

and I love this picture! I like the affect and agree that I would like to know the process. If you don't mind sharing, please email me and let me know. garykwray@timeforpictures.com
