Hi all... i'm a bit tired trying to find a good background context that looks good... so since it's new year, i decided to break out the backdrop... here's the result... critique on lighting and composition? hope everyone have a happy new year and merry xmas!!

beautiful! when you posted earlier about family photojournalism, i was going to say that your shots of your daughter with backdrop and lighting have always been strong. maybe that's your thing?

Love it, Tony! The light, the reflection -- and of course the adorably sweet girl! TFS!

thank you both for stopping by and leaving such nice comments appreciate it..

kristenh... for now i have no idea what's "my thing" is... since i'm just in this for the family photos and an occasional travel/landscape... and i like diversity but thanx for your insight...
