Hi Zarozinia,

The first picture is a lovely scene which is let down for me by just two things - your daughter's red eyes caused by the flash and the white object in the bottom left corner. Both are easily fixable in photoshop or whichever image editing software you use though so don't worry too much about that.

The second picture is also a very nice capture and I think with a levels tweak and a bit of a sharpen it would really shine. You've managed to capture most of her reflection in the wet sand too.

Thanks for sharing :)

My favourite is the the second on, and as matt says a little work in photoshop I could see this been a great shot. As for the first I also find the white area distracting.

She looks very comfortable in front of the camera.

Nice family shots but as Matt Charlton points out they both need a little work. I’ve taken the liberty to modify #1; I’ve cropped it, upped the levels slightly and applied a slight “s” curve, removed the red eye and whitened the teeth, plus lifted the highlights in the hair and finally removed the hot spot on the nose.

Is it an improvment?
