My little Lady Beetle (Be warned Baby inside!!!)

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.

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.

As you all saw on Saturday it is very hard to look after 2 little ones and take some images at the same time, but here is my latest attempt on getting some pics of my daughter taken a few hours ago while Oscar was in bed.

Craig, After seeing her in real life and in these images, it's hard not to like them!!

Few things.

One has to watch out for the cast from the red clothing.

I would increase the intensity of the catch lights in the second. They have a huge impact on portraits.

I am surprised that you got time to even do this much set up etc!! Great stuff.

I like both of these. I can only imagine the challenge involved in getting these shots that make them even more impressive!

I quite like the personality captured in the first one, which make this image a success for me even though we can't see her eyes.

In #2 I like the intent look she has on her face, that inquisitive, engaged look only a little one can have.

Keep em coming, some great memories being made and these would look great printed LARGE at an 18th birthday down the road!
