First CC Request...

[SharedMemories]

I am so nervous, but I want to improve, I wish that I could give you my ISO, fstp, etc but I am not sure what they were I am at work and dont have the orginal file, I want to say, this was done with my Canon Point and shoot ( i now have a Nikon D1x I know it is an older camera but I had to start somewhere, and it has done really well for what I have needed.)

Anyway,
This is my son, he is 2, this is SOOC...

just a little over exposed but not too bad. I would say work on the framing. Try not to chop the head as in this photo and try to catch the subject in a better stance. like from the front looking forward. kid has beautiful eyes. very captivating. your motor is very outdated though. i would suggest upgrading asap to like a nikon 3100 or 5100.

I am working on upgrading, I have to save up a little... Thanks for criqtiue I will be posting more and more, I have done a lot of shoots for friends and family lately...

Not bad, I would open the aperture more so the background will be more blurry.

Right away his face is dirty and the lint and hair on his jacket is very distracting.

I see you tried to clean up his face in PS, but you just made him look blurry with what you did (which was, I'm guessing, just using a blur tool to smooth out his skin).

Also, arts of his face are over exposed. He really does have beautiful blue eyes though!

Keep practicing :sillysmi:

Cute boy -- those blue eyes will be a big advantage when he gets older.

Your photo is too blue, too light and too flat. Here's an adjustment for you to see:
