exposure

well, I got a nickel to anti up....
I looked at that photo and thought it was OVER exposed until I saw the edit...which to me was really over exposed.
Problem is bright light coming from an odd angle. Look at the shadow the little nose is casting...The hat is white. Thus the struggle for a good read on the light. This would be a good time to experiment with fill flash if you wanted to reduce the shadows. I kinda like it the way it is...it says cold to me.... and i like the shadow of the jacket fur on the face.

I'll see your nickel and raise you a dime. On my screen I think the original exposure is on, I would like to see white balance temp a little more blue or colder. Reason is the child is bundle up it is cold out, winter a portrayal of that feeling. I think I read the creator is not comfortable with photoshop/ACR which this could be accomplished easily, so I am not sure what the creator should do with the image until they start to play around with photoshop like program.

Halo.
Wonderful framing of this photo. It's just hard to get a good exposure in light that is that bright. I think you did good with what you were facing.

The image is underexposed by at least a full stop. As well as your white balance seems off. If you like I can show you how it would look like with just those two minor corrections.

Yeah, the histogram dies off well before the right/bright edge. It's underexposed.
Yep yep I adjusted just the histogram... here is the result

Gosh, I must have weird eyes, but she is perfect right out of the camera! The lightened one looks ghostly. White hat, pink baby skin normal, to me.

I am amazed that you judge negatively a photo that was fixed up so well. I find nothing wrong with the enhanced version. As a matter of fact, if I worked on it, my results would likely be the same.

I won't pay a dime for my 2 cents worth, but here it is:
I like the tight crop, and I'll go with the exposure as being an artistic expression. But the strong side-lighting, almost theatrical, is just too mature for such a young subject. The nose-shadow cries out: Pinocchio! Not good for this little tyke.
To sum up: Everything is acceptable to me, but the lighting needs to be less directional, and a little softer. The pose and the cropping have great possibilities.
Thanks for the chance to study this!
