Pictures with flash...Did I light her up enough???

My daughter had greek and roman day at school.. How did I do with the flash? I have a feeling they are still slightly underexposed... C&C.

I don't know if it is bc I'm viewing from my iPhone or she has on makeup that's different but her skin tone seems off

I especially notice it in her face tho. Specifically her right check.

Nope, you pushed the contrast too far and fried her skin tones, imo. Not a fan of the edits.

To the OP: The first one, the exposure is pretty close to being right, but it lacks contrast, and could use some MINOR tweaking in post.

The second one, is actually slightly overexposed.. look at the white part of her dress... It's blown out and lacking detail.

her skin color is off in the second one and the white on her dress is blown out too much and in the first one the contrast is off a little. Not bad though

Don't understand why you edited her facial features. Actually I lied, I do understand, I do not support. Such is the condition of the world today, everyone wants to alter themselves and others to this plastic idea of perfection. Not a fan at all.

I think it's incredibly inappropriate to photoshop someones child like that.

i didnt think i could do it

+1, post reported.

On to the photos, I agree with what has been stated before that the exposure is correct, if anything a bit on the bright side. All that is needed is a bit of contrast to make it pop a bit more. Her skin tone looks OK to me in both shots.

You can pull any random image off the web and challenge yourself.
