Happy Baby!

[clb76]

Hi, I took this yesterday, I love how happy she is. The thing is I didn't notice that the curtain on the left side of the picture had made it's way in there and I'm not sure if the toy in her hand is too distracting. It wasn't supposed to be in the picture but she was getting grumpy so I handed her the toy to look over and then she started smiling so I hurried up and snapped some shots off.

Also the right side of her outfit seems a little blown out, is that a big deal? Anything else I could have done better?

It was taken on a rainy day inside with very little natural light, a bit of overhead light, and the flash was bounced.

I love the expression you captured. For me the curtain isn't a huge deal, just make sure to plan ahead and go over every detail next time.

The lighting for me is a little hot. You've lost the texture in her top and some of her face which is important. Check your historgram when shooting!
