Really nice shot Ray and a gorgeous daughter. Kids are why I own a camera.

I think you did great here Ray, very tastefully done and it really works with this image. You got to be happy with this!

You asked for adviced, since I haven't done alot of work like that I will just comment on what I see.

Without knowning how you wanted the picture to turn out, I will just comment on what I look for in a close up port.

The picture is good, it just seems a little dull to me, maybe a little more warm light. She also seems to be looking away from the camera, unless you wanted this.

I noticed a little shadowing on the left side of the face, were you using studio lighting or natures light?

Over all very good, just needs eye contact and more even light.

Many thanks to all.....

Lundrog, really appreciate the feedback..........

the shot was just a cadid shot - quick fire - taken at a party.

She was sat near a window and only had what light was available.....

I could try to warm it up a little - will give it a try........

By the way; it has actually printed super - really pleased....

However, will look at the points you raise - much appreciated...

Best wishes
