Any final comments?? Please!

Hey Everyone,

I took this shot about 2 weeks ago at a photoshoot I was doing for a family friend. He asked me to PP it and give him a 12x12 copy for him to frame. I've been PP/editing it for the last few days, and I wanted to see if anyone had any final comments before I printed it. All comments are appreciated!!

Please post pictures with a maximum of 600 px on the longest size and include a link if you want to show a larger size (rules). Thanks!

As far as the photo goes, have you tried getting rid of the dark sheet just at the bottom of her arm? Should be a pretty quick cloning job and would get rid of that little distraction.

I agree with Nicole. That little bit of dark could be removed. This is a very good improvement from the previous version I saw. Nice work. Do away with that dark bit and I think you're ready to print. If it's a bit too difficult to clone that out I wouldn't worry about it. I'd let it go because it's still a nice photo overall.

My apologies Razad....I was suppose to have a go at the PP on this for ya and show you my take. I have been so dang busy with work and my wife on te other side of the country trying to get travel arrangements for me to visit plus a case of bronchitis!
I really dont think its all that bad but the darker sheet or whatever is a bit distracting...maybe not even distracting just annoying a bit. Pls I just noticed the little ones collar area is a bit out of focus...wonder how a selection and sharpening would deal with that? I think on its own its one to be proud of....maybe not the best photo but the composition and the subjects make of for it and then some.

Razad,
I don't know if you printed the picture already, because i think you did a very tight cropping on the left and on the right. I would have like to know what the shot looks like with some more centimeters to the left and to the right.

If not, i like the composition and the ambient light. There is an overall color type that i like. Is the exif anywhere to see?

Hey Everyone,

Thank you so much for all of your comments.
To Drax, I did not crop anything on the left or right, that is how the picture is originally. I agree a few more centimeters would have looked nice. The EXIF data is:
Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 39 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0/2 EV
Flash: Flash did not fire
Exposure Program: Aperture priority

To xxpinballxx, no problem, don't worry about it. Thanks for your comments though, and I hope you feel better!
To PLouie, I will try my best to clone out the spot, thanks.
To Nicole, Thanks for your comments, and sorry I violated the rules. I will be sure not to post large pictures again.

No worries Drax Just wanted to make sure you knew why your post was edited.
