Cherry Tree Portraits

[PlantedTao]

The second is my personal favorite...I like the tones in this photo actually. The tree has the very nice texture and the girl looks very soft next to it. I think that photo has a "quality" that I really like...the composition, angle and the expression really make this a great photo.

Pic 1 has a blossom that blocks her hand and is kinda annoying
Pic 3 a branch is growing out of the child's crotch and kills the sweetness factor and composition.
Pic 4 I like, but the expression is not as good as Pic 2

my 2 cents
Cheers.

Ha! I didn't even think about the branch-crotch combination. For me, that isn't a big issue, but i can see how that might be distracting. I was annoyed with the hand thing as well, but unfortunately, it's not something I can fix in the darkroom. I'll have to force my neices to sit for me again. Although, it wasn't exactly a task in the first place .
