First shoot.. CC requested.

Aside from the hair in the eye, which I know is a problem, what are your thoughts on brightness, skin tone, background color, etc. For the moment, I use Picnik.com to process my images.. I lightened it up, brightnd the eyes a little and softened the image throughout. I added a slight peach vignette to tone down the bright sky behind her.

Thank you!

Nice capture. Here's mine just for fun:

its a cute photo

for me the background is taking over distracting, and has the effect of making her hair look like its been badly masked out and put on a white backdrop.. if that makes sense?

I would tone down the background and rebalance the contrast to give her face high / lowlights, and all the attention
