This is definitely going to make some parents happy.

I love the idea of her lying down, I'm guessing you were too.:mrgreen:

 

[Stormchase]

Very nice! I like it.

 

[BrianLy]

Really like this picture man.

 

[EhJsNe]

It looks soft and cold. You could warm it up a bit, not much can be done about the softness.

 

[BuS_RiDeR]

You could warm it up a bit,

I agree....

I think its a nice shot otherwise.

 

[Josh220]

Good shot, but I wish it wasn't so soft.

X2 for warming it up.

Well, this pic was saved to my phone from facebook. Then I uploaded to photobucket from my phone. Then I linked it here from photobucket. I wonder if that had something to do with the sharpness. It looks pretty good on my monitor at home.

In curves I drew out some of the red because she had a lot of red in her skin that was just too warm. In turn it cooled the photo down. Any suggestions on how to fix that problem?

Very cool :thumbup:

 

[Ryan L]

Hopefully you have the original somewhere?

 

[eric-holmes]

Yes, I do have the original. And I really hate to say this, but you guys are right. I got home and looked on my monitor and its soft. What can I do in the future?!? A lot of my pictures are coming out that way and I don't know what to do. Is it the lens? Here is another one. Is it better?

I posted a picture of this girl in the professional gallery but I guess that forum sees little traffic.

And this is why the beginner forums sucks. It takes away from the traffic going to other portions of the site and ends up being one big dump for photos. It used to have actual discussions in it besides "what camera should I buy" and photos by everyone. But no one really cares, right?

 

[ChrisStone]

They do seem a little soft and flat, but the shots themselves are fantastic!

 

[eric-holmes]

Is there anything I can do to help the sharpness or do I just need to start looking into another lens?

 

[SrBiscuit]

with that cmos sensor, and a nice prime, i think youd be golden.
cute shots regardless.
