What a fantastic expression and very well captured. It’s no small wonder
that you’ll treasure this one. It might be improved somewhat by a boost
in contrast and sharpening, and a little lightening of the whites of the eyes
which are somewhat grey in appearance. All in all though a marvellous
portrait. Nice work.
Aww, what a gorgeous shot Cora :) Love the catchlights, expression. I think the shot itself looks a tad “flat”, so i’d suggest bringing in the white point a little, boosting the contrast a tad and doing a selective sharpen on the eyes, lips, top of nose hair etc :). I’m not sure about the negative space to the top of the image, maybe a crop?
That a beautiful shot of a gorgfeous child….the conversion is perfect, although I do agree that it needs a tad more contrast,
I was at a photoshop tutorial recently where the instructor said that a good colour photo with perfect contrast may need some more when converted to black and white……..
Definitely doesn’t take away from the picture though….it’s just likkle thing…
Thanks for all your comments and advice.The shot was taken with an aperture of f/3.0 but I did soften it a little in Picasa which is what Im using at the moment. Howevet the consensus is it needs a little sharpening so Ill play around with that and the contrast.
