My little girl after a days playing...Basicly SOOC...just did B/W

conversion

She's adorable Albert!

A few suggestions on the photo. It is awfully right heavy, there is way too much wasted space to the left. I like the hi-key effect but it looks a little too high key.

I removed some of the wasted space and dropped the mid and lower exposure values a little with PS curves.

What do you think?

I really like this photo and both the composition and subject are very good. The little boys eyes are cathcing the viewer and are a great and strong focalpoint in the image. I do agree that the high key are a little to overdone and gives an apperance of "washout" in higlights. Would try to get some more contrasts. Ovrerall a very good photo with many potentials.

well done! (I.A.)

I had to look up "SOOC" to find out it means straight out of the camera.  That makes as much sense to me as 

unfrosted cake - straight out of the oven

unpeeled bananas - straight off the plant

unchilled beer - straight from fermentation 

unground pepper - right out of the bottle

unfitted suits - right from the rack

unpeeled onions - right from the ground

We modify things to make them better - camera produced images are the equivalent of film that was "drug store processed."  Usually the results were poor to lousy.  One had to build a darkroom or pay a professional lab to get good results.  Are good results of your children's photos not interesting to you?

Thanks Scott...agree the comp may be a bit heavy on the right but thats my style...like to break the rules now and then. Agree the high key a bit to high.

Thanks Ingolf

Jerry....The aim is to get it right IN camera.........
