It *has* been a while. Geez, is that the same little one you used to post frequently. She's a lot bigger now, eh? Very nice set. I think I remember the strong vignettes are kinda your style, so I won't mention that too much ;-)
These are lovely Jon...what a cute little lady! I like the b&w images the most. A few suggestions...I love the idea of #2 (very cute) but the spotty lighting is ruining it for me. I'd use a scrim or wait until the sun has just gone down (or even an overcast day) to use that spot. Your WB in the color shots needs a lil work...#1 and #3 are looking really blue to me. I'd warm those images up and think it will really make them shine.
Thanks Lisa for taking the time to looking these over and giving me things to look at.
I totally agree about her on the bench. This was just a day at the gardens (took my wife and MIL) and she just happen to jump up there and allowed me to snap off a couple. The lighting was really bad and the 3 year old was hitting each spot for a min then off to the next. I hope to take her back there someday soon to try it under more controlled shooting time.
She sure is a little bundle of energy and sometimes hard to keep up with!
