My girl and a half *C&C*

[FranDaMan]

My wife Took this shot of my oldest and her best friend that spends so much time around here she is half our kid too *lol*
We tried working with a reflector this time (yes...i can take some credit too for this shot then ;-) )
Lights were overhead, pointing towards the girls, reflector underneath to cast some light back up in their faces and remove shadows from the lights up high.

no comments on light or PP ?

Notice that there are no catchlights in the eyes and the nose shadow on the left girl almost touches her lip. You had your main light to high, lower it and you would have a fine image.
Hope this helps.

Well, it kinda looks like a nice snapshot.

Good:
-Sharp Focus
-No distracting background elements
-Lighting is pretty even and not flat

Bad:
-Slightly underxposed
-White balance too warm
-A bit tightly cropped/framed for my taste

My take on a very quick edit, just changed the white balance, upped the exposure a bit and slightly desaturated.

thankx guys.

I was working with 2 ceiling lights that hang down. No way to lower them any further.
I tried turning down the temperature further, but that made the left girls face look as pale as a ghost. Sort of like in the edit above. Not my taste.

And the crop....i keep telling my wife to shoot a bit wider !!!
