This is my first time at putting any of my pictures on The Hog. Also my first time of doing any portrait work with lighting. My lighting is not a pro grade, but a guy has to start somewhere.

I am open to any critiquing, good, bad or otherwise.

I have them all framed ready for Christmas gifts this year...

Thanks in advance for any help..

Merry Christmas to all.

if you look at the bottom of the kids, that is where the matte touches and then same distance all the way around. I just printed it that way for the 16x20 frame.

but yes, I certainly agree with what you said. I should have cropped it before I posted...

thanks

Thanks Don, she is not a real fan of dogs, so getting her to pose is a feat unto itself....it was my favorite shot...for sure..
