Originally posted by Ray-uk lovely shots which capture the mood very well, they could do with a bit of PP to boost contrast and brightness.
The fault that is glaringly obvious to me is why didn't you turn the camera through 90 degrees to get them in portrait mode, that way you would have cut out the uneccessary stuff at the sides and got the top of her head in the picture.
Yeah, you're right, Ray - the framing is less than ideal! But sometimes I like to keep some of the 'environment' in. I do realize that some details mean nothing to others, but to me / family, even a rubbish bin in the background sometimes makes the photo less 'abstract', placing the subject in a precise context (home), even if somehow unconsciously. Having said that, yeah, junk is junk. And chopping off a baby's head isn't very pro :-D
