This is one of my favorite photos of my middle daughter. I would love to hear your thoughts on composition, exposure, etc. Thanks!!

I think it's a great shot. A little overexposed. But what beautiful eyes!

I like it too, I like the overexposed look. Some people don't some do but I think it works well here.

I like it.

Did you do any post processing? To me something about it looks over sharpened...

I use an free PSE action from Pioneer Woman called Boost. That's all I did.

Thank you, but she is much more beautiful than I am.

Gorgeous girl and beautiful brown eyes.

Nice crisp focus on her eyes and nice catchlights.

Have you cropped? If so, if there is the option, I would like to see her looking into the frame ie place her lower left looking into space within the image.

Do you shoot RAW? If so you could sort out the exposure easily - it isn't far off (although actually I like it in this image too). I don't know which programs have it, but if you have noise reducing as an option in your PP that would take out the grainyness in the boke.

Nice image.

Thank you for your compliments. I did not crop, and I didn't shoot in RAW. I forgot to switch for this shoot. I do have noise reduction options, and I will try that. Thanks!!!
