Hi Margaret.

Not easy to get shots of kids, is it!

You can often get candids at weddings with long lenses, but since you havent loaded any settings from the shot, I have no idea what focal length, or any other setting you used. So Im flying blind here in a way, and relying only on what I see.


I like the diagonal presentation of her eyes; I would prefer her to be looking at you, but not to be; its a little soft, most noticeably in the eyes. To me, - and maybe only me, - her skin tone is rendered a little too red; the image overall is a little underexposed, and a little low in contrast.


I would suggest a tighter crop as in the mod. I have also adjusted the colout balance for her skin, adjusted exposure and contrast, and sharpened. I have two mods, - and mod2 is a version of mod1 with a diffuse glow applied to give a softer, dreamier look.



Hope you find this helpful,


regards


Willie
