Got the chance to shoot a fun 4.5 year old. she has done some print work she loves the camera. I had a blast doing this shoot.
this is one of my favorite shots from the shoot. Let me know what you think of the lighting and conversion.

Ohhhh!! LOVE IT!!!!

So lucky to get a pro child model for shoots - look at that face!

I think the lighting, shadows and conversion are great. Just great. The tones of the conversion I love as it gives this nice, vintage, semi-gritty feel to the image. I can't say anything else to help you - there is nothing to help. Only admire.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Grace

Well-composed shot. I think I would have liked the lighting before the conversion, but the post-processing seems overcooked to me.

Specifically, the contrast seems forced hard, the whites of the subject's eyes look overdone, and the subject's left sleeve looks blown out.

That said, the hair is well handled, the shadows define her face nicely, without losing shadow detail, and the pose works well. (The smile seems a bit forced, though.)

Overall, I think you have a very nice piece here, even if I'm not thrilled by some of the processing.
