this is a picture of my niece, Shae Shae.. looking out at the Mississippi river

I shot over 200 photos today, this is my fav for the day (tomorrow i may have a different fav...lol(

Looks good. I think it could be some what more lighter and the background is alittle to much blurred out for my taste - kind of hard to make out what it was - if that is what you were going for. I like the pose of her and her face expression.

200 is alot i think. As i have found out quickly what to do with alot of pictures that i have taken that might not be the best but worth keeping. What do you do with them delete the ones you dont like - burn to a disc?

I was about 25 feet away from Shae Shae when I took this, so the background being the way it is, just "happened".. as it was REALLY far away, off a 'cliff' and way way below us..

I took all the pics at a family reunion, at eagle point park, in clinton iowa.
I delete pics that are unfocussed, or otherwise not to my liking, and back up the rest onto dvd or external drives

thanks for the comments

I like the blurred background.. if it was sharp it would've been a distraction. I do agree that the exposure needs to be upped on her face.. it's a bit dark.

ok, changed the exposure a bit in psp8, i think it looks better

I think this is a beautiful image. The background is perfect as it is blurred and soft with pastel like colors. The framing is just right and the sharpness fine. The upping of the lightness in her face helps alot, and you might even want to go a bit further like adding a little diffused lighting into her blond highlights etc.
Great image and her expression is priceless.
