My Neice By Mic

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

very nice Mic. I love the finger at the bottom of the frame and the hint of a smile.....a very "cheeky" looking photo.

One thing I might have changed is the darkness around her left eye. The other eye has a touch of catchlight, which I think adds to the look, but the other eye seems to get lost in the shadows.

Thanks Ausie Dave, :wink:

I thought it was very "Cheeky Looking" as well.

I should have Titled the pic that I think.

Yeh, that eye is a bit dark.

Cheers,

Mic. :wink:

Isn't she beautiful! I agree with Aussie Dave on the eye getting lost in the shadows....can it be fixed easily?? Love the DOF and the very cheeky candid look! But I think you know by now I'm a sucker for B&W and Kids!

Well Done, she's beautiful! I have a neice on the way in July, and cannot wait to get some baby B&W pics!

This is a beautiful image Mic. What a cheeky smile... Don't know about critique, the only thing that comes to mind has already been mentioned about the dark left eye, but I would have liked to see just a touch more of her hand, maybe just the bottom of the first finger???

Beautiful image and good PP... I enjoy seeing your portrait stuff...

Cheers

Terrific. Would look nice blown up super huge.

I second the finger thing. I sort of want to see a little more of it as well. Even the whole hand maybe.
