TWO Birthday Pics

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. I just took a break for awhile to rejuvinate myself. I am finding that POTD takes a lot of time and I was neglecting my family. I really wanted to take these pictures for dd's birthday but it just never worked out. I was in the mood, feeling good and found that the light was looking good so I did these today. I did have a hard time with the back ground but got some tips from stacey that I tried and seemed to work. I'm feeling pretty good about these picks but would like some cc please. Don't be afraid to hit me with harsh criticism if you feel so inclined. I really want to improve. I took these in my kitchen using only the light coming in from the window. Shot with my 50mm f/1.8 Iso 800 ss 250 f 2.0. For processing I did some screen layers to get the background white and erased as I went along at 18% opacity (thanks Stacey anna for the tip). Thanks for looking and the cc.

Really cute! Shei s a little doll. I love the tutu and jean jacket idea. the photos themselves seem a little bright? Almost glowing in places?

What a cutie. She looks like she had fun.

Awww too cute! Love that blue tutu!

Mandy said...

First...she is so great and I think you got REALLY fun expressions, and that is hard to do with kids. BOY IS IT EVER!

To me, they look over processed and that gives her skin an orangy tone. Do you mind me asking what they looked like before...with the background?

The only cc I would give has already been said. Sometimes, my pping just makes a slightly overexposed picture REALLY overexposed and colors (skin especially) get wonky and I have to backtrack. I really, really, like the poses. The tutu and the jacket together are great!!!

I'm not much help on the CC, but I like the tutu a lot! I've got some material to make a few...now I just need to do it!
