Joining the Proud Parent Brigade

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Seen a few kids on here. So my turn. This was late and overcast, shots were originally quite blue. My daughter came out with me (she has an old film point and shoot that she runs around with and fires off the flash, very cute photographer in training!) and started asking me to take a photo of her.
So here they are...

Danny, cute and i am sure she would be happy with these pics, 1st one is a bit dark around the eyes but fill flash would have worked there and like you said dark in the day but good to see a nice big grin and happy look.

I too get harrased at event but some cheeky kids wanting there pics taked and they seem to see the big lens and make a beem for it, pitty it wan't some chick magnet.LOL :lol: Kidding.

All i seem to get home here is as soon as the kids want a picture taken Serina will poke her tongue out or make a sill face.

Anyhow nise to see a happy face.

Lovely expressions and a very cute little model. Probably as a result of it being overcast and also here warm close it makes me feel a little cold in viewing, but her cheeky expression are warming.

She's three next month. I sometimes let her run around with my old Coolpix 700 as well, even get an occasional good shot! :)

It's interesting seeing what she'll take pictures of, from draws to the bathroom basin...

I really like those shots, I like the colour, the framing and of course your model. What a cutie she is, you must be proud that she's training to be a moderator on this site! :D

Like John said, the first is a tad dark, maybe some fill flash would have helped, of some PPing, but other than that "Well Done"
