Baby shots

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.

Hey guys just been practising with a borrowed Canon 10D. Took a few shots of my friends kid and seriously this is the best one out of like 100+ shots.

Also this is my first time using a Digital SLR. Did quite a bit of PP mostly dodging and burning areas

She is gorgeous....and your pp work is good as its barely noticable which ideally for most portrait work is what we want...the exposure also looks spot on too...its only the posing that is letting it down...the girls arm is too high it is too dominant in the pic....and its covering a lot of her face which in itself isnt always a bad thing but as we have no eye contact it is too distracting for me...I prefer the colour version...its has a lovely warm homey feeling to it...I think your that the childs mother will b pleased with the pic though....:)

Oh..please don't think that I am being critical for the sake of it..I only mentioned these things because you posted at the bottom of your post that our comments would help you a lot....:):):)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

No, no by all means. Positive/negative comments are welcome.

Constructive criticism is how I learn

Yeah the mum was really happy esp. the sepia color cause she has this thing for old photos
