Hello again! Well the weather was nice the last two days so i spent a lil quality time with my camara and my kiddos today! how did i do? i hope to be doing a lil better. i do have a question of what poses are best for children??

#1 i was a lil upset as i pick it apart i seen that there is a lil tiny string of hair over her eye. is there anything to do to better it for next time?

#2 i like :)

Emmie


Jerzie

#1 - I love the way she is looking at the camera, full of spit and vinegar. I do wish she wasn't so centered in the frame thou.

#2 - I like her looking over her shoulder, she's cute and full of life and it shows. You got some nice light in her eyes. Her skin does look a little too pink to me.

#3 - This one is my least favorite of the three. The B/W conversation is lacking, it looks like it might have been an action with little or no changes made. Her eyes look like black shadows. I'm not sure what editing program you are using (I think you said elements before but I'm getting old and my mind blanks), try dodging and burning in selected areas to give darken and lighten where needed.

Good call- i didnt do anything to any of them :) n this set as i went back to look at all the pictures from yesterday Jerzies cheeks were rather pink in all of them i didnt notice that. maybe from her walkin along the trails?? im not to sure. when outside playn around she always gets bright red cheeks
Good memory - yes its elements as i dont know much about it, ( i google alot for some help)
i do have faith that i may get better- i dont plan to give up just yet i have to give it time and practice practice practice!
and take in all my advice i get from here.

I agree with MWAC.

#1. I wish Emmie would move to her right about 6-7".

#2. As you look at this one, I would consider cropping off a little over half of the hair on the right side, placing her face closer to the right side. The wood is distracting. I like this closeup.

#3. As it needs more light in the eyes, I would consider cropping tighter so the image is mostly, Jerzie's face and the dogs face.

Going back to #1. I would normally, not be in favor of the tilted down face. This one works due to the neck wrap.

Overall, if these are right out of the camera with no cropping, I would pull back some to give yourself space to fine tune the final framing of the image on your computer.
Take vertical type images as well.
You may pull back enough for vertical or horizontal cropping.

Hope this helps!
