Creative Angles?

[Maureena93]

Hi, so I'm new to Photography and also to this website so bare with me!
This is one of my favorite pictures (of my niece), I like doing fun interesting angles, what other angles do you suggest? also what do you think about the editing job? I don't have photoshop; all I have is a pretty basic editing program but I like it. do you think I need photoshop or do you think the editing works as is? anyway, thanks so much for any advice you can give me![IMG][/IMG]

Hi and welcome!
I like it. I like the unusual angle and pose. I don't know that I'd want to see a whole album like it but as a fill in shot I think it would round out a group of other portraits. As far as improving this shot...the left side of the coat appears to be blown (overexposed) might be nice to pull that back in so there is some distinction between her coat and the background. There are some areas without shadow detail but i'd rather see the highlights pulled in than detail in the hair. Other may feel the opposite. Neat shot - keep 'em comin'
