...my God-daughter. She's a pretty special girl with a lot of attitude. This is one of her most "innocent" of looks.

CC welcome and encouraged...thanks.

Diego, I'm not sure if this is what you were going for in post-processing, but it looks like one of those old late-40s era pictures where the print's pigmentation is fading.

In my opinion it's a bit too faded; we see an expression, but no sense of context or mood. Maybe that's what you were going for, but that's how I see it.

However, the girl has a very interesting look. Did you shoot any that were more saturated than this one you're showing us?

It is a nice photo and she is quite a pretty young lady. That said the PP doesn't work I think you need to work on it and you will have a nice keepsake.

I tend to agree with the previous authors.
Did you try black and white effects or sepia? I have such a feeling that that also would be of your liking, without the drawbacks as above mentioned.

First, thank you all for your comments!

I was indeed going for that "vintage" washed out look. To me, I was angling for a whimsical, kinda fairytale feel for the image. I set exposure to be over about 1.5-2 stops. During pp, i stripped some saturation, altered hue a tad and added a reverse vignette. I guess I missed the mark...live and learn:-)

Again, I appreciate you all taking the time to critique my work.

Cheers,
Diego

Hello Diego...
First...my standard intro to anyone "new" to me on this forum...
My comments or suggestions below are not a criticism of you, your model, your talent or skill. I offer them in a friendly tone of voice and with the sole intent to help you with a second POV and set of eyes. If you read sincere questions and simple suggestions as "criticism" of you, then you will miss how I am trying to help you. All smilies I post are genuine and sincere.

Of course this may be your own "style" or your own "vision" and I suppose we can assume that the images look just like they do because that is exactly how you like them. That is OK too. It just shows that there are differences of "opinion" on what looks good. IF these are exactly what you want and like, then by all means continue making your images look like that and have fun doing it. As I always say: "Follow your own muse."

_______________________

I like it.

Just as it is.

I would CONTINUE doing what you are doing.

The colors look nice.

The expression is nice.

Keep going with it.
