Cute images but to me they all appear overexposed and the WB is off.

B+W does not work, its mostly white with a bit of black and no tones in between

Agree with both ^^ Drop the exposure by 1/3 - 1/2 stop and you'd have some winners; other than the unfortunately cropped toes in #2 an the fact that the eyes seem slightly over-processed, it's not a bad set.

Thanks. I know the white balance is off, sometimes I just get a little too much into editing and edit too much. I'm working on fixing that now. I'll post re-dos in this thread. The crop in #2 is unfortunate but I love that one and she was moving so much I just didn't get her foot. I didn't touch her eyes but I realize they do appear over-processed. My daughter has some gorgeous eyes. Everyone that meets her comments on them. Not sure why the b&w one doesn't work? I'll attempt another edit but I'm not sure how to fix it?

Sorry about the duplicate post. I tried to delete but I'm not sure how. Can anyone tell me?

I'm not too sure it's THAT over exposed. Here is my go. I set my black point on her pupil, white on the right top of the rug.....

The B+W above is way over, the histogram is crunched to the right

Am I the only one who says screw the histogram and LOOK at the images? Really? Of course the histogram is way up there- its a pale baby on white. The image itself lacks many dark elements. (Granted the original images are missing)

Still some WB issues, most noticeable to me in image #5, right around her mouth.

Cute baby, must say I'm jealous she has 2 teeth at 6 months. My 10 month old is just cutting her firsts!

The histogram being balanced in the middle doesn't indicate a proper exposure. If I shoot a properly exposed photo of a room with white walls, white furniture, etc., the histogram will be "scrunched" to the right".
