About She has seemingly grown so much just since the Halloween images :(

She actually was using the remote and snapped this herself...yet another ploy to get her to cooperate...and she was 'posing' herself :)

My goodness Janet, one of my favorites of yours...or hers...or....! ) You/she did a great job. This is even better when viewed at the large size. Great focus and I love the crop too. I love the soft look. GREAT JOB you two!
Susie


Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 2/3/2006
Oh, Janet...she is a beautiful little girl! And she is also a natural! That's the way it goes...let them pose themselves and they do a far better job than we can! This is just tooooo precious!

yes great focus i really like the connection she has with the camera. excelent shot.

Divine little girl. My only suggestion - I think I would have lightened under her eyes :)


Janet B   {K:16139} 2/3/2006
Thank you so much, Peta :)

She has dark circles and they are just more apparent some days. And especially now with it being winter...she is a bit pale :(

The thought crossed my mind :) I have messed with dodging them in the past, but never have gotten it to turn out looking 'normal'. Any suggestions??


p e t a .   {K:18156} 2/3/2006
I dont know if its the 'right way' but I just use a big soft edge brush (say 60) and clone at 66% opacity. Use the lighter skin as the origin. But really no big deal with such gorgeous kids you have!! :)



Steven vanHaaster   {K:888} 2/3/2006
What a precious face...georgous eyes. Its funny that she took this as a self portrait. A shot your cherish forever.
Cheers
Steve


Janet B   {K:16139} 2/3/2006
oh wow, Peta, that looks great! You did that fast, too!
I had always tried it with the dodge tool...maybe that's why it didn't look right :)
I never thought of the clone tool. THANK YOU so much for the help!!


David Hofmann   {K:23830} 2/3/2006
hehe, now your kids take over and do the photography themselfs. And as we can see they do a great job!

She may grow up too fast but she is as cute as ever!

Regarding the eyes, I thought about that for a moment when I first saw the photo, but then I think they are just perfect the way they are.


Kambiz K   {K:37420} 2/3/2006
A very beautiful portrait of that sweet young girl with good lighting and expression.


Gorilla  K   {K:17526} 2/3/2006
very beautiful and so natural...well done!!!

best regards,
Winfried


Peta M   {K:170} 2/3/2006
Thats so beautiful! What an awesome combined effort! She could have a carrer on either side of the camera one day :)


Ninni Termine   {K:8961} 2/3/2006
Portrait beautiful and expressive, very neat and well cut.
Ahh...I was forgeting: the child is very pretty.

Ciao
Ninni


Dina Marie   {K:9657} 2/3/2006
the color, the crop, she is beautiful!


stingRay .   {K:136763} 2/3/2006
You are going to have to hide the camera away sweetie....she wants to follow in Mum's footsteps NOW.
Oh my sweet Janet what gorgeous eyes she has, they reach deep down into your soul and tug at the heartstrings. Were she mine I don't think I could deny any requests she made. Yet another wonderful photo to treasure and although she directed the scenario I expect her clever Mum arranged the crop for the final presentation. Well done for a great team effort...will the dynamic duo strike again?? Oh, I hope so sweetie....Very best wishes and a big hug for our young photographer....Ray


Kay McIntire   {K:11787} 2/3/2006

Best wishes.

She's so gorgeous! My kids love it when I hand them the remote, I usually do it when I'm desperate and they won't give me anything and I'm in a time crunch (like getting a shot for a father's day card). I find it really hard to clone or get rid of anything when it comes to my kids. It's all them, and it's not like a masterpiece I'm trying to sell.


Fakhra O.   {K:6208} 2/3/2006
So beautiful.
I like her pose.
Wonderful job! future photographer :)

Regards.

Ursula Luschnig   {K:21809} 2/4/2006
Hi Janet,this....or better said ,your daughter is a true gem! So so cute and lovely..
Cheers,Ursula


Andre Denis   {K:55940} 2/4/2006
A beautiful portrait Janet! There is such a subtle softness to the colour. Great eyes!

ps
That was such a nice job that Peta did to just notch it up another level. She did it just perfectly in this case.
But you really have to be careful not to change too much for fear of the image looking unnatural. My friend Fadel gave me a hint when doing this kind of thing. You really have to set the tool on a very low percentage and make very small changes. If done wrong, it can look too false. If done right, It's magic!
Andre


Ann Nida   {K:45230} 2/4/2006
A model in training. She really is gorgeous. The camera just loves this little girl no matter who's in control of it. :) As far as lightening under the eyes goes. I doubt if there is a right or wrong way to do anything in any photo manipulation program. Only multiple ways to achieve the same result. Whatever works! Great shot and lovely post.

Cheers - Ann :)


jacques brisebois   {K:56012} 2/4/2006
as always, you post many gret kid's pics. Particulary like this one. Great looking young girl, with deep eyes. I think she will be a very nice photographer... or model :)
Best regards.


Angela Freed   {K:10061} 2/4/2006
Gorgeous Janet and your colors, I'm jealous. I just can't achieve this kind of coloring. I've tried over and over and used your Velvia and everything. Just can't do it. Any other secrets you'd like to part with?? : )
Angela


Rina     {K:26519} 2/6/2006
Boy, she's good! But obviously it's in her genes ;)

I see I'm not the only one to have little success trying to copy your fabulous style! Angela too it seems. I don't feel so bad now... :))


jude .   {K:14625} 2/6/2006
A beautiful, beautiful portrait, Janet...simply wonderful!


Pat Fruen   {K:12073} 2/7/2006
I love the off center composition and the tight crop. The softness really works with her expression here. She is so lovely.


Sian    {K:2487} 2/8/2006
she is so lovely! This portrait is beautiful. And how sweet and wonderful she took this herself! I know what you mean about ploys... and growing up... !
