My two year old

My daughter Megan was picking rose petals and blowing kisses with them. This first one is a kiss being blown and the second is her reaction to what she was doing hehe.

Thanks for looking

Incredibly adorable. And your lighting and bw conversions are lovely too.

Thanks Ajay, its not a conversion though. I shot it in B&W

Very nice shots of your daughter Amber. But I cant help think that these would be even better with more contrast in the black and white tones.

I see that you have a "do not edit" tag on your profile. But I have a sample of what #2 could look like with a little more work. If you would like to see it, let me know, and I can send you a PM.

Nevertheless, these are nice. Good job.

I stand corrected! I never get such good results shooting in black and white instead of converting later. Well done!

Thanks NJ. PM sent. If you would like to just post what you think needs to be done to the image in PS to make it better, that would be great.

Thanks for the PM Amber. What I was going to suggest was bumping up the shadows and highlights to give it more of an effect. This is one way to do it: 1) Adjust the level to 15, 1.15, and 255. 2) Do a Gradient Map adjustment and set it to black, white (the third one I believe). Just a suggestion.

Great photos again.

Watch out for the dust spots on number 1, otherwise nice shots.

Yes thank you. I saw that after I posted it. Easy to take out, I just missed it at first on this one.

Its really irritating because this spot is in my camera body and I cannot get rid of it! I thought it was a scratch on my lens at first, but its showing up with both lenses. I've used the CO2 dust thing that is meant for computers but cant get rid of it any ideas?
