You already know I think your daughter is drop dead gorgeous. I think the lighting is a little flat, but if it was over cast and grey skies there really isn't much you can.

Everyone else has mentioned the backgrounds so I'll skip that. :)


Okay, I may dust off my PS5 book by Kelby and try and pop them into a different background. I'll also work on the lighting on the second and last one.

You don't have to try to pop them into a different background - mask them off them us Lens Blur Filter on the background. That will highlight your subject quite well particularly in 2 & 3. #4 not much you can do with that background but I love #1.

Like the idea, I'll give it a try, Thanks.

Seems like #1 is the favorite.

Quick note: In photo #1 you may want to work out the artifacts to the left of head and just above the shoulder on the right of the frame. Was she standing in front of a glass door... a reflection maybe?

She was in the front yard, that's the neighbors house in the background. Look at #3 and you will see more of the true back ground.

I like your suggestion, I'll try it, first I going to catch up on some "Shamless" episodes on TV.

Thanks again.

I think I wish I was 50 years younger and going to the prom with Hannah.

Rachel, they are pretty standard images for this type of event, so your on the right track. In general I would try park scenes w/ trees, gardens of flowers etc. as extras. Skys w/ diverse clouding always add drama to an image. Split rail fences add something to a portrait type image also. P.S. love your peacock logo.

Here's pictures of my daughter and her friends for her Jr. prom.

Tell me what you think, and any suggestion on what I could have done to make them better.

Cheers,
Rach

Yeah, to be young, smart and good looking and ambitious. My daughter and her date both are going to be very successful people. All the kids are really good kids.
