You might recognize her, took the risk because this shot was too good to miss. Tossed my awesome landscape shot to enter this in the Free Study. My stepdaughter, and I caught her pulling "the pout" wich is cute as hell and terribly effective because of it.
Rotate, a little levels to brighten, selective desat to bring attention only to her expression and eyes, neatimage, bitty clone to remove a glint of shiny hair, a touch up around the upper lip area (some playground dirt and shes a hairy little monkey), a little burn to mute distracting highlight in the background, a little selective gaus. blur to eliminate blotchy skin tones, size for web, sharpen. Last minute edit of Softglow filter (GIMP). |

| Darling girl. The way her hat sits on her head and the color of her eyes is what makes this photo great for me. Good luck in the challenge. |

| This is an image that is good for the family album. Although as a portrat or snap, it doesn't do much, it lacks a buzz, technically it looks fine, but it lacks some umph. Maybe if she stuck out her tongue, all in all a little grey. |

| A very good shot and very different departure from the typical smiling child. I like that you chose to show a different emotion here. And boy, have I seen that pout on my own kids and even though it tugs on the heartstrings they DON'T always get what they want. Now back to the image, I have two critiques on this shot. One there is too much background in this shot and it serves to take attention & focus away from the main subject which is that pouting face. A tight crop specifically framing the head only would capture and keep our attention where it needs to be. Second, I really think that this shot would be better in B&W just to add a classic portrature look to it. |
