Two Little Cuties C & C Please

[Kazzy]

Hi guys, just after a bit of CC on these shots please.

I can't seem to get this one right, it still looks cool to me, warmed it up a fair bit, but when I go more it looks too orange. I don't know!!

And B&W

I forgot to change my settings before this which resulted in Liddy (up top) having an out of focus face. So I chopped off her head from another photo and popped it on. Although its not as cute I dont think.

Original

Head Swap

I know I chopped off Liddy's toe too. Just after your thoughts?

The WB is off in #1, showing too cool on my monitor, and the subjects are under-exposed. A reflector here would have turned this from "Okay" to great. You've captured a nice scene, good expressions, but... the monochrome is a bit muddy. Partly as a result of the exposure issues, and partly as a result of your process. Look to the stripes in his shirt to be white in both the colour and monochrome versions.

The lower two are nice, but again, fill light is needed and a reflector would have made these. Notice the serious racoon eyes the child in the red & white sweater is suffering from? A white reflector low & left, or diffuser right w/ fill flash would have made these great shots.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

Thankyou heaps, very much appreciated. I am going to have to organsie a reflector and make sure I keep it with me. The white in her red and white striped dress is actually a creamy colour, so not meant to look white, her stockings are the same, however the long sleeve top under the dress is white, but its still off I know. I am having trouble with the coolness, it was much worse before...I will keep playing.

Thanks again
