RE: PESO: All Hands Starboard!
Adorable is the right word for it. About the electric outlet: You may need it later, so my advice is to leave it there. If you decide to move it, don't do it as DIY job, hire an electrician ;-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C.

Re: PESO: All Hands Starboard!
Thanks to David and all who commented on this pic. The critiques offered led to some worthwhile thought and discussion regarding the difference between studio portraits and candid portraits and how one might choose to process each.

Re: PESO: All Hands Starboard!
Thanks for the feedback. I don't want to crop the lower portion or edit out the object on top of her head. Those changes would eliminate the high chair from which she is leaning out. It's simple enough to eliminate the electrical outlet and even the curtain, but I don't know if I want to make it that sterile. It's not a studio shot. It's a real kid in a real kitchen. In the days of film photography, one would never even consider removing parts of the room for a cleaner look. I generally do a lot of cloning and removal of offending pieces, but I'm not sure I want to in this case.

All I wanted to offer was just slightly different way of looking at the work you presented. I also feel very reluctant to clean up the offending parts from the photos of my daughter ;-). -- Boris
Re: PESO: All Hands Starboard!
Personally, I think the curtain is fine. It's only because she is leaning over that my eye was repeatedly drawn to the outlet. But, right, one can't really PS life. Marnie aka Doe :-) === Thanks. Yes, I might as well remove the outlet. I thought about removing the curtain as well, but decided it was too much work:-).

Re: PESO: All Hands Starboard!
Paul, I agree. Never found the items Boris and Marnie mentioned to be distracting in any way. In fact, they went unnoticed until Boris mentioned them, as the child's face is very dominant and strong. Sometimes these distractions add to the story or the sense of place. In this case those elements are germane to the photo. As a result of not making the suggested changes, you're left with a photo that's more real Shel [Original Message] From: Paul Stenquist Thanks for the feedback.
