Default My girls on St. Patrick's Day

They were just so cute in their outfits today. We just had to get a few shots of them.

Your kids look lovely. My suggestion is to crop the space at the left side to make the image look tighter. Just my two cents.

Cheers!

I agree with Eric. I think a tighter crop will direct more of the focus on the girls and have less distraction.

Very Cute capture!!
agreed with pp, and would add a little space between the subject and the wall as there is some shadow thrown on the wall left side...the color balance appears to be off just a tad.

Thanks everyone! I cropped the image so that it's square, and it looks much better that way.

@Zona - I'm slightly colorblind. In what direction is the color balance off? I adjusted the white point (forgot to do it in-camera) and the tint (the RAW converter made it too green).

Here's an alternative crop you can be considered.

I really like the pp's crop! So much less wall space!

Okay, here's my second attempt, with better cropping and tweaking the white and black cutoff a little. What say you?

So cute....but the finger/arm chops are just so distracting to me. That's a nitpick of mine, so take it for what it's worth LOL.
