Recent photo of my girl, trying different photoshop stuff. Let me know what you think.

Beautiful captures but on my screen they look just a little over exposed. Her face looks washed out. The 2nd shot I'd like to see her eyes a bit sharper too.

Initially I liked the washed out look but after a while it was just obvious that it was overexposed

Here is ver 2.0 of the first image

Much better!

Beautiful! Great eye contact.

Georgie,

I'd like to see a bit less (still!) exposure ... maybe add to the saturation ... and also, warm up the wb a smidgeon. That's, of course, only for my tastes.

YMMV

The last one is great! Beautiful model.

Alex

Thanks for the suggestions - have played with WB and am probably slightly happier.
It's very rare for her to look at me when I take photos, she normally does the whole "CCCHHHEEESSSEEEE" thing or stares away

Great shots! One thing that you might want to do is apply an unsharp mask (USM) filter to the photos to increase the sharpness a tad to compensate for the loss of detail when converting and resizing a jpeg.

The reworked #1 image is a beautiful child portrait. She has magnificent eyes, and looks like she might break more than a few hearts in years to come.

Well done.

Those eyes are amazing, well done.
