I'm pretty sure people can have varying skin tones I also ran a filter through some because I liked the way it looked....( as did they)

Yes.. if she is sunburned and he is jaundiced!

little girl's skin color is true to self. I know her in person and this is it.

it's called blush

The girls skin tone looks ok to me (actually, I really like that picture, too bad you didn't shoot it a bit wider).

But, I think cgipson has a point about the boy. His teeth look yellow, as do the sclera of his eyes.

I like the creative approach to portraiture that you are taking. I can't get my kids to pose for anything. Maybe that will make me a good wildlife photographer.

Thanks, Desi! It's always nice to have some constructive and respectful cc. I will play around with the white balance and see if I can fix it. Your pics are great! What do you feel most passionate about photographing? lol I cannot get my kids or pretty much any other kids to pose (except for older ones sometimes.) I try to play games that cause them to smile or laugh or allow them to take from a bag of toys and just play. A good game is "Red light, green light." Basically (if you don't know it) You say "red light, green light 1, 2, 3'...everyone runs and moves around til' you say "red light!" Than everyone freezes and does a pose or whatever you implement in. Works like a charm

Thanks for the tip....I'm going to have to try that little game with the kids.

Since you asked.....I suppose what I am most passionate about (photographically) is landscape/adventure/travel photography. I like to throw on a backpack and take off and bring the camera to document the beauty that I see. Well, I've got twin 3 year olds, so lately I get very little time to travel without a stroller. But it is the kids that really struck up my passion for photography. Trying to capture an image which shows what I see in them turned out to be pretty hard, so that was the trigger that got me seriously learning about photography. I'm at the beginning of this journey. I'm glad you've enjoyed some of my images so far.

Do you lack the ability and knowledge to be able to differentiate between Professional Quality photography, and Amateur photography? You must, or you would know whats wrong with me!
