Default Forum Question

Sometime back I shot a Quinceañera for the daughter of one of my employees. And yes, I shot it for free as it was me or no one. I did get a lot of great shots, that the family loved, so everything was fine.

I would like to print a photo to give the parents, but since I'm not a people photographer I'd like some input on any changes I should make prior to printing. If I go by the rules here, it doesn't fit the critique section, as I don't have a specific question to ask. And the camera data is not pertinent, as I'm not trying to learn how to do this better. I could post in SYS and definitely not get what I'm looking for.

Now maybe I'm overlooking something, but I really don't see a section it fits in. Those that know me here, know that when I'm around I stick to the gear or wildlife areas.

So is there a right section, or is that something that might be missing and useful to have for others?

There is your question. Make sure to include the EXIF data too,

Try "People" critique section.. Seems to fit in there quite nicely. just include the explanation you put here.

An alternative would be to post in the post processing forum and ask about that post work could be done to give you the best color. pop and contrast for a print...

I would think "other" for critique, but perhaps more appropriate would be "post processing and printing" technique section. Nothing wrong with asking a question there.

I'll post it in a day or so.
After looking at it again, I've found a couple of things I would change now that I didn't consider almost a year ago. Once I make a few tweaks, I'll stick it up and go from there.
