Default "Kassy on Pier"

this evening my daughter and I walked down to the beach- this shot is me practicing at a different angle, while she sat, I stood @ the end so I was above her- I think I like it. I wanted to keep her feet in the pic, because I do think barefoot feet of any age people look good( just natural) I did not tell her how to pose she just did it. Whatcha think guys?

i really like the angle you got going on here...the one thing I notice that I would work on would be to tone down her skirt, it is really bright and takes the attention away from her face. I think having the feet in the frame was a good choice

Your daughter's a natural. Nice composition.

The pose, your shooting angle, and the way you have nice sidelight are all terrific (and good job including all limbs!).

If I had to pick a quibble, I would say that to my eye the pic looks a tiny bit overexposed. Apart from the skirt, some of the blue shirt and the skin tones on the legs seem a bit bright. I would guess that if you looked at your histogram, you would see lots crammed on the right hand side. If you are a post-processor, then can I suggest you have a shot at a levels adjustment, maybe pulling your dark slider in?
