 My daughter. Purposely overexposed because there are a couple of stickers and stuff on the wall behind her. Wish I could claim they were sensor crap, but alas.

Shot, bouncing the flash off the wall to my right. The walls in her room are white.

cropped, adjusted contrast and levels, desat the yellow a bit, noise reduction, resized.

she has pink rabbit eyes. :( but, this one is much better than PJ one.

Did I mention I don't have a studio?????

Did I mention that I still had it on ISO 1600 from the football game the other night?

UGggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

It deserves a LOT better than a 4.68. Good grief, freaking voters :)

unfortunately this shot is way overexposed, to the point that trying to bring it back to normal has shifted all your skin tones horribly. A nice idea, but needs a re-shoot to fix this overexposure.

Too blown out. Additionally the angle is not flattering to your subject, I'd liked to have seen more of her pretty face.

The entire photo is blown out, too bright. Otherwise it's cute.

Nice shot. Contrast seems a bit harsh.

Nearly everything except the girl (and parts of her as well) are blown out, which I personally find rather distracting.

In an effort to blow out the background a lot of other details have been blow out too.

Very sweet and cute little girl, light's a bit too bright though, you've lost detail in her hair and the pillow.
