My two front teeth C&C

[Fingtam]

I did some slight sharpening and brightening on her eyes.
I wish her knee wasn't in the shot, but I didn't notice it until it until afterwards.
Comments appreciated.

I can't help but notice her skin is very red/orange. I hope you don't mind I played with your photo.
I just did some color balance adjustments and added a tiny bit of contrast to make her "pop" from the background.



But overall I think it's a very nice image, I wouldn't stress the knee so much. It's not that horrible lol.

Much the same as Haya.H's nice edit. I thought I'd have a look at a crop to take the knee out.



Very photogenic. Your daughter?

Nice edit Haya

Super cute shot! I love "memory" photos, and I am sure this will be one to cherish. Very sweet!

This picture was shot at f/7.1 shutter speed 1/123 ISO 2500 with a 50mm lens.

Why?

 

[The_Traveler]

this is way, way over-saturated - that's why it has that tan orange look.

 

[Fingtam]

Hey, thanks for the replies. I have no problem with people editing my photos.

I went back and adjusted the white balance and desaturated it a little. This is what I ended up with. Thoughts?
I do like this edit better, although I did like the warm sunset feel of the first one.

Actually, that's wrong. I must have been looking at the exif data of a different photo. You can tell just by looking at the DOF that my aperture was way wider than 7.1

Exposure	0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture	f/1.4
Focal Length	50 mm
Focal Length	50.4 mm
ISO Speed	2500

Why ISO 2500?

I don't remember what was going through my head at the time. I probably cranked the ISO up that high just to get the exposure right. I obviously did not need a shutter speed of 1/640 sec so I don't have any excuses for that. I probably just was not paying attention.

The highlights on the face are what's bugging me most, other than the orange...but you fixed that. It even looks like a huge brush stroke under her left eye, or it's just a crazy highlight.

Yeah. The highlights kinda bugged me too. Not too much though. I tried bringing the exposure down in the RAW file, but then the whole image was just too dark. Definitely wasn't a brush stroke under the eye. I didn't use any brushes on this one.

 

[Ernicus]

Here's my take.

Did some work with levels, brightness, highlights/shadows. Tried to bring overall luminace up as it seemed dark. Brought sat back down a hair, sharpened the lips/teeth a bit to match the sharpened eyes.

I forgot to save it before I started work on the nose...not too happy with it now, but didn't wanna do it all over. I was trying to even the highlight on the nose and didn't do as well as I wanted. but overall IQ I think was improved...to me anyway...lol.

Somethins going goofy with my craptop when I saved this, they look opposite in my ps. lol. so whichever one looks better is my final. lolz....stupid laptop.
