portraits - children - The World in Her Eyes

comments and rates are appreciated

What beautiful eyes with great detail in the catchlights. I also like the softness on this portrait. Nice work - no suggestions from me:-)

what else can i say? beutifull photo :)

Very nice portrait and one heck of a pair of catchlights for sure, if anything all I would say is maybe the amount of detail in the eyes and the catchlights is distracting the eye away from the actual face, if that makes sense.

Beautiful. The eyes are so wonderfully done and the crop is great. Could you please tell me how you acheived this soft effect and such sharp eyes? This is one of my favorite types of children's photos.

Thank you all for your comments.

To produce this effect is quite simple. In PW you have to select the eyes and increment a bit the brightness and the sharpness; then you invert the selection and apply a blur effect (to the face).

Love the expression, skin tones & softness & then those eyes. The catchlights give an amazing depth to the eyes. As they say, "the eyes are the window to the soul" Very nice job!

I appreciate your answer. I had thought it might be something like that. Just wasn't sure if it was all camera work or not. Love it no matter how it is achieved. My Best, Bridgette
