Thank you for all your comments. I am happy that the photo scored as well as it did. Lighting a moving child is not an easy task. I did purchase a light meter . I plan to use it with my next garage shoot. Thank you all . Karen
What a great shot. Beautiful girl, great composition, great pose/expression, good lighting…
A couple of constructive comments; I like the lighting, but it’s a little harsh on her right sleeve. It looks like you had the lighting to the left of you. I think the photo would stand out a little more if the lighting was on your right. It would make all those whites a little more evenly lit and remove the shadows on her face. That chair does not need to be in the photo and kind of draws attention from her, cheap stools work great and for what ever reason kids live playing on them. The photo also seems a little soft, not soft focus, but not tact sharp. Were you going for soft focus or tac sharp? You are somewhere in between.
Great photo though. I would have scored it a 6 or 7 and I’m a harsh scorer. Good luck of future challenges!
the white on white on white works well and bring out her skin tones. I think I'd crop out most of the pink print and it'd still work for the rule of thirds. I might brighten up the background a bit too so it's really white. Darling little girl with a sweet smile!
IMHO the picture looks contrived and awkard using the rule of thirds. Your niece is so pretty, I would have filled up the frame with her. She has a great expression and the skin tones are lovely.
