Another of the same girl. And her brother

I thought I had totally f'd up the contrast in PP, but I think its alright now that I've looked at it a few times. Also, does it bother you that she doesn't have eye contact w/the camera? Does she look awkward to you?

Adding this one too. I used some lighting effects in PS.. what do you think?

This is her brother. Which do you prefer, the cooler (1) or warmer (2) version?

#1: I wouldn't say awkward... It's more like she's clearly looking into the sun and squinting. That said, I think its not the fact that she's looking away from that camera; looking into the camera won't blow a picture. I think its because she's squinting AND her eyes are looking away. It makes her look shifty. Still a cute picture, though, because the rest of her face is showing some emotion.

#2: My favorite of the set. Looks a little overexposed, but with your PP it looks like you planned it all along.

#3: I like the warmer (2) better. Although, I can see why you like the cooler version; it seems to complement his shirt.

Thanks your right.. that squint isn't very nice.

And ya, 2 was done on purpose with some lighting effects in PS. I rarely use that filter but was bored last night

Thanks for your comments!

the second one is really nice... if you care to share the pp technique that would nice. As for the boy I prefer the second one warmer. Think it brings his expression out just a little more.

#2 is definately my favorite. I think it's awesome. I like the warmer version of #3 too. I think the first one is a fine photo, but it doens't catch my eye like #2 does.

Thank you Lacey!

The technique in photoshop was under filters>render>lighting effects> where I used a spotlight and adjusted the levels to where I liked it best.
