My 10 year old daughter came down looking rather pretty this morning. I couldn't resist getting a few shots of her in the garden. Lucky for me, it's very overcast today :thumbsup:

She was very obliging and posed herself.

I don't know about anyone else, but, I think my children are model material.

I put both colour and B&W in here because I can't make up my mind! I love them both.

Canon EOS 350D
50mm 1.8 MKll lens
TV mode
SS 1/1000
ISO 100
F/2.2
Kodak Airbrush filter applied to a duplicated layer and then erased features and hair back to normal.

Your thoughts, as always are appreciated.

Wow nice shot(s)

I agree with you on the model material part so it isn't just your biased opinion =P (just got a second opinion from the wife as well... she agrees also)

I love the framing and the angle you shot it at. I have been attempting shooting my son at odd angles recently but mine all look weird. I guess I just haven't found the touch yet.

Great shot.

Good shot. I like the color a little more (something about the faded pinks in the background that add to it.) Very nice either way though. Good angle. Really worked here.

I think that this is a good portrait. Your picture has a lot of visual impact.
I think that the skin tones and the eyes are quite fantastic in the b&w but her top unfortunatelly is blown out which distract me.
The clothes are well exposed in the color version but the eyes lacks some luminosity. Now, I am being picky because I know that you constantly produce fine portraits. This one remain above average despite those few issues.

i think i like the b&w version better, but just barely. i think it draws more attention to her wonderful eyes.

I like the b/w better 'cause her skin looks a bit more 'normal'? I, personally, don't care for the super filtered look.

besides, i prefer b/w almost always and her eyes are much more intense. I didn't even notice the shirt.

Definately the color one....the B&W just looks fake to me. I also think the color gives the whole shot more life with the green in the background ....just my .02 cents

Awesome pictures once again. I don't know how you get such sharp pictures, but I wish I could take pictures that good.

Hi Alison,,,,for me it is an each way bet between the B/W and colour versions but as a look at both more closely I'm leaning towards the mono version..
I like the angle of her head and your exposure is spot on and that 50 1.8 is sharp as a tack..The reason I'm leaning towards the mono version is in the colour version the area around her eyes is a bit dark...This could easily been lightened up in PS..Also the bright red flora although out of focus is a tad distracting..

All in though,,lovely portrait..
