client wanted a snowstorm in the studio

and who's to say she wont :)

comments welcome

Why is it photographers kids are the ones that HATE their photo being

taken, I was allowed 4 frames to test a new light, just love this one, she

does not lol in fact she wanted me to delete them LOL.

please comment about the picture OR if your children like or hate their

picture being taken, i would be very interested :) thanks for looking.

bit too much dodging tool in post for my taste 

Hi 

very nice portrait great feeling in the eyes, great mouth shape, good light too

Now for the Critique 

The background behind her shoulder draws the eye away from the subject if it was the same as above her head it would have been better but a minor point

The left hand i feel distracts from the composition may be if it had been laid flat on the surface she lays on, when a hand is square to the lens it just looks so large, square and "manly", i always try and have a hand edge on or 45 degree angled to minimize this

and last one is personal taste i would have removed the bra strap by ether PS or asking the model just to drop the strap from her shoulder for the shot (beware sometimes this leaves a skin mark that you have to remove in PS anyway)

I am sorry I truly like the picture but i could not show one of my clients if things like these glare at me :) and my picture may not have been any better that you one here buts that's what i would have tried to do

dont hate me :)

Nothing like a subject that does not want his photo taken but his mother
