I'm trying to edit down some children's photos that I took. I think that people usually want to see happy, smiling children, but I feel that other photos can be just as good. This is part of a larger group with a session I had with this girl.

Does anyone have any feedback?

Thanks!

Interesting one you took, suppose moody child snaps should have a market as most kids I see are moody little so an so's when the parents make them pose for cameras lol. I like the second one with the girl holding the blue ball thing. Makes me want to know what the child is thinking at that exact moment.
Keep it up am providing the child isn't crying blue murder am sure Parents will like more natural photos of their children.

Thanks! It's funny cause she wasnt very moody at all. It's just that children aren't always smiling, of course!
Her mom was very happy with the photos (there were happy ones mixed in too), but I find that parents' expectations are often kind of low.

The blue ball was a water balloon. There was one tiny hole with water shooting out of it. She was putting the water on her lips.

I was hoping that the last three were also very good, but having a hard time stepping back to see. I need a shot where it's not cropped much, so the forth could fulfill that.

It's the weekend. It's often much quieter on here at weekends. Which is also why I can't open the full size versions in order to comment - broadband here in the back of beyond is best when everyone else is at work. Evenings and weekends it's as slow as a very slow thing.

All nice shots. The last few can perhaps benefit from a slightly tighter crop. Not sure if its my phone screen but perhaps just a touch underexposed? Nice set..
