Thanks SJMD, I didn't think I'd ever get a response! Here is another one of the dress... it is just missing something... It needs some sort of POP... I don't know how to describe it. http://idisk.mac.com/calprices-Public/Charlyipweb.jpg
Cute, cute baby!!! I really like the conversion on the 1st. On the last one, I think what you may be missing is a little more catch lights in the eyes. You have some, but not enough to really make her eyes have that sparkle. Aside from that your lighting is really nice.
I really like the second one. That is how a little princess should look. Maybe more eye contact and getting the whole dress in the shot would have made it better, maybe not.
The third mades me worried she may fall the angle of the shot makes it look like she is leaning back but i don't hink she is. For more pop maybe it is in the eyes again, what do you think?
almost forgot great lighting on 2 & 3 is it natural or what did you use?
I used an AB800 and a medium softbox. I've got an outdoor setup for lighting but I need some more practice and tips on using it. Thanks for your comments.
