    Thank-you for your reply... I totally agree with everything you said. She was too far back for the fill flash unfortunatly, or I wasn't close enough.. either or, the flash was there but ineffective :(. Also, the top of her head. Yep... totally agree there too... There were quite a few shots of her, this one was my fav of all of them because of the bride and maid of honor in the back.... however, darn it all if I cut off the top of her bloody head. Drives me nuts! I wish there was some way to fix it.

    That's the way it goes. You might try dodging (lightening) her face a bit which might solve that problem but I have no skills at replacing a missing scalp! :(

    Iggy gives an excellent critique here!

    I just wanted to add that the background in shot 2 is just lovely. The focus (although difficult) should be on the child's eyes, and here they are blurry. Too bad about the chopped scalp...I see no easy fix

    That said - I'm sure the child's parents will love this shot. Photographers are very critical, most people never notice what we notice.

    If she only had her face turned a bit to the left. You take these shots as they come and she is a cutie. I would try dodging a bit. You crop her head.. Sooo what is wrong with that? You may even want to crop a bit more off.

    I am not a big fan of the first series. All the comments have been noted.

    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

    I totally agree with scorpio about the shot of the little girl. I was just looking at it before reading his comment and I too think chopping a bit more off would not be a bad thing. Just a sliver. To me it brings her closer in to us the viewers.
