I don't want to be a model now....

For some reason, my 8 yrs old daughter was unhappy when I asked her

to be a model for me ! I think her expression showed this ! I know

there is nothing special, the light is flat and frontal but this is

just what this is.. a portrait of my lovely little daughter !

 

Your comments are welcome

I think she SHOULD be a model, beautiful shot, the light is great! 6/6

...I will show her what you said. Will make her happy.

Cute kid. I think you could have sharpened a little bit more. You could have used a different aperture to make sure that the leaves in the foreground are in focus.

Love the colours.

Sundaram, The leaves were made out of focus on purpose, to draw attention to the face !

Nice, but I find the leaves a distraction rather than an enhancement. Of course, that is a matter of personal preference. It looks like the focus point is the nose not the eyes.

...this was unplanned. I had some branches which I was planning to shoot for the colored leaves. they were in the basement, where my "studio"is. She just stood there, not very happy to be my model(see above). I liked the expression and just took one shot wide open ! The focus may very well be on the nose !

I did not realize this was a candid photo. Since you gave the location as your studio, I assumed it was planned and posed. As a candid image, it is very good. Congratulations on capturing the moment - a moment due in no small part to your model.

 

As you can see from my photos, I well understand the problems of trying to get 8-year-old "models" to cooperate.
