Fourth Birthday

Photographers Comments
My Granddaughter Olivia on her fourth birthday, which she shares with her mother! Given this a slight diffuse glow, do you think it works?

Hi Peter, I think it has worked very well, I like the shot as it looks as if you caught her not posing for the camera which is when you normally get a grin, she looks in a world of her own. Only crit I have is with the outline of her hair as it does not seem to be natural against the background.

Thanks Barry, I managed to catch her in a moment when her attention was elsewhere. She was sitting on a dark leather couch which I had to darken on a separate layer to remove flash reflections. I had a bit difficulty with the mask around the hair.

I like these kind of shots where the subject is natural and not actually posing - nice work Peter
