A portrait of my Daughter, Nadia, waking from a nap. What thoughts

are in her head? I will always wonder.

The composition could be stronger in this one. I like the expresion and light grain..nice DOF

Interesting choice of crop. I think I would have left a bit more on the right..

Full digital + full optical zoom...f2.4..very shallow DOF

you should upload your image @ 800x600 or so. the focus has caught the grass in the foreground rather than the subject....happy shooting!!

very hard lighting of a nice mood

thanks for the constructive critique Michele...Happy shooting

I played with it a bit in PS..I feathered the dark and light areas to adjust for a more even exposure and played with unsharp mask for contrast...it wasn't a great improvement though as the lighting is just to hot...happy shooting

A moment in time captured. Any Thoughts?

great lighting and mood altough a bit to soft?...nah I quess it's about right for this shot....nice exposure

I like the concept but I feel it could be improved if it was symetrical. Also the eyes need to be razor sharp in a shot like this imho...happy shooting

Love the mood...bit to much grain...

Looks great! The only thing I would change is maybe use the despeckle or smooth it out a bit.. it seems a little pixelated, but otherwise - coming from an equestrian- a wonderful portrait!

Very nice lighting, tonality and detail in this shot. You captured a special moment in time very well...kudos...happy shooting!

Thanks for the comment. It is a great cam for the money..a steal. the lense is very sharp and exposure is well metered. It doesn't resolve like my sony 707 but its much sharper than my S40.. very inpressive for what it is.

Hi, I think the shot has some great potential with a bit of work. You have a great dynamic range here so a strong bump in contrast / unsharp mask would really bring this shot out. I also feel the border is a bit to large causing some distraction from the composition. I would have taken about 2 steps left so there would be some space between the subject tree and the one just to it's left in the background. This is simply my opinion and I hope it is taken constructively. Remember, art is in the eye of the beholder!! Best to you and Happy Shooting!!

All critiques are very welcome, be it good or bad, as this is what

helps me improve. This is my new Digital and I am just getting used

to it...Happy Shooting and thank you looking

Very Very Nice..

stunning.

outstanding!

great composition and tonal range/contrast

very nearly a perfect composition, great lighting. The zipper on the left is distracting..

very very nice, great lighting and tonal range.

very nice composition and originality

I would like to see more depth of field in this shot so all of violet flowers were in focus
