Annabell as gorgeous as ever

Great shot. Annabelle is a cute kid, but you managed to catch the very best of it.

 

Bravo!

Any hints tip advice no matter how harsh is always greatfully

appreciated.

 

Thanks

I especially like that she is not looking into the camera, you got her candy side ;)

Shame on the person who has something harsh to say about this image! It's wonderful that you found a neutral background that lets you focus on her completely. Great DOF, to the extent that you can see a few wild hairs sticking up! My one suggestion, or opinion, is that around her eyes is dodged just ever so slightly. It might not look so bad in color, (as you said you converted it from), but in B&W it looks a bit too dark around her eyes.

I second the comment about brightening the shade around her eyes. Then it would just be perfect. I really like this photo. This is the kind of portrait I'm striving for with my own daughter. I hope you framed this one.

Hey Mark,

 

I see what you mean by the sharpening effect. It makes a big difference from what I tried to do. How did you get her to stay in one spot long enough. Girls must have a different attention spane then boys.

Superb shot! Beautiful kid, beautiful angle, beautiful use of tones, and I think most importantly, beautiful use of depth of field.

 

Nice! Very Nice! Thanks for inspiring me to try portraits!

Very nice Mark - i love it

What a cutie! I love the the way she is looking off to the side. It looks very natural. I like how her hands are positioned also. Some of my favorite shots are ones where the subject is looking away from the camera. Well done.
