25 views and no gripes yet? geez, didn't know i was perfect.

thought i'd point out a few gripes i was expecting and want comments on.
1. this image is totally photoshopped. those of you who have seen me shoot know that usually all i do with my images is color correct and fix skin. this is a complete rewarping.
2. her eyes...the light naturally made one very different than the other. should i change that?
3. because i lightened the image so much, it brings out the beauty in lightening with digital. does that make it a weak image?
4. i think my copyright is still too dark...lol

Great photo Tiana, as always

I would keep her eyes the way they are... or maybe doge it SLIGHTY, otherwise it won't go with the rest of the lighting on her body.

I'm not too sure what you mean by that... sorry, I'm still pretty new to this "digital wave"

The bottom left of the photo is really high-key... At first I thought it drew too much attention. However, I think it works here. The only thing I would get rid of is in the top left corner you can see a bit of her arm. I would photoshop it out.

I have a tiny model too.... My four year old brother - my first and best:

thanks pretty girl.

ok, gotcha on the eyes. i was pretty cool with the way they were, but a few non hotographers noticed that right away.
digital thingy...when you lighten in photoshop you tend to get a wierd color and a grain in the dark shadowy parts...in this case her hair, with a grainy purplish tone.
i'm cool with that spot being blown out...that is something i could easily fix, but i like it here.
the piece of the arm...are you sure? i definetly thought about it, but ultimately decided i like the energy in this image...the way she is coming towrds me...almost hugging the screen....reaching for me.
the reason i really wanted comments on this image is because i know i am extremely biased...this girl said tia before she said mommy. so how do i separate myself? biggest challenge ever.

oh, and since you have a little brother you understand that i am ripping my hair out now because angel has a crush on some boy named anthony william powers from her day care. **sigh**

lol i know what you mean... every photo I have of the little guy I love... even if I snap one of him spitting all over himself... actually now that I said it I can see why people would dislike it.. hahaha.
