Precious moment captured here. As I scrolled to see all of it, a tighter crop to remove the two corner areas off the top seems to help this a bit. ((7))
I had dinner with this charmer this evening. It is my feeling that I would like to see the next five frames at 8 exposures per second. I don't think that the eyes have finished forming their expression. There's a little squint that I would like to see resolved.
Wow, she looks cold! I can't tell if she's smiling or about to cry ;) I like the composition. I might have whitened her teeth a bit in Photoshop to make it a little more flattering.
boy, this is a tough one to read. i can't tell if she's happy, or just really hoping to get this over with...
i hope you're getting good comments and suggestions, and not getting lost in the shuffle of this huge challenge. if your scores and comments are not where you want them to be, please don't take it personally; just consider this a good starting point for the rest of the year. one suggestion i'd make is that images of children are very risky in challenges, unless they offer something that allows non-related viewers to emotionally connect with the subject. i get the feeling that this image is not going to connect to too many viewers/voters. if that's the case, don't let it dissuade you. keep on shooting and submitting, and i'm sure you will get where you want to be! good luck!
NIce idea with the coat - but the facial expression here needs a little work - when I'm photographing kids (and my house is crawling with them :P) I try to ask them questions and photograph them while they are answering me - it gets a natural pose out of them (by the way, I didn't come up with that myself but read it somewhere).
