I like how you composed the shot, the way the child is looking into the frame gives at least a good use for the negative space. The focus seems a bit too soft, maybe just a bit more and it would be good. I have never been a fan of selective coloring unless there is a purpose. I guess your intent was to have the hat the subject of the image? Beyond that though, the pose is great and the lighting is wonderful. A nice image and very cute child.
beautiful child and what a lovely smile! I liek the composition, but have to agree with Catherine about the lighting, maybe increase contrast a bit and make a bit sharper?
i know she's cute, i know she's adorable, and i'm glad she's getting used to the camera at an early age. if you keep working at it and pushing yourself, you'll get where you want to be. just remember, it's not automatic, and it takes a LOT of practice (and patience).
I really like the compositon and the desat is dione very well. I'm a little disappointed with the desat in her face as her eyes now appear somewhat lifeless. hmmmm. Anyhow, nice work and good luck!
I like the coloring you have chosen on this (bw with the red hat) and also the composition. However, to me, it is soft, but seems more out of focus than a true soft focus.
Good capture. I particularly like how you composed the shot. For me it could be a bit brighter and sharper but otherwise this is a very good keepsake. Good luck.
lovely image. sweet expression, nicely done. I'd have liked to see the catchlight in her right eye duplicated in the left. It may have made it a little stronger image, but that's just me being picky. 8
