Re: PAW - My Grandaughter

[Paul Stenquist]

You have a beautiful granddaughter. The framing and composition are 
nice.  But I think you're a a little heavy with the flash. If you could 
use a softbox adapter, a bounce reflector, or even the ceiling (as a 
reflector), you could achieve much more natural lighting. With this 
shot as it is, I would clone out the flash reflection in the wall and 
perhaps even the extra highlight in the lower part of her eyes. But you 
certainly caught a moment. Congratulations.

My
daughter did not want me to take this because her face was dirty after
eating something. Sheesh, isn't this what young kids do? And besides, 
it's
my "duty" to spoil her anyway!!

Oh, I forgot to mention, this was taken with a NIKON ( how's that) 
Coolpix
5700. That was before I had my *istD.

Comments welcome.
