[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Doing portraits is one of my favorite things in photography. My best subjects are my grandsons because they are available, work cheap and my daughter doesn't get upset when I nag and bully and otherwise browbeat them into giving me natural smiles and expressions. (she grew up with it) This was done using light through a glass door reflected off white tile so I didn't have to use a flash. This is one shot I got where he didn't have half his hand stuck in his mouth. :)) Comments or suggestions welcome.

Hello Shelly,

Cute portrait . . I like the way you set it up with utilizing ambient light and still see detail on her right face . .
Very well composed by giving space in front of her . . Lovely colors of toys and the surrounding, and empty blurred BG add beauty to this image . .
Great detail and very sharp image . .
Blurred hands show the action . . Excellent exposure setup . .

Welcome to TL . .

Tfs,

A hearty welcome to TL from me as well. This is a wonderful portrait. I am afraid portraits are a bit out of my comfort zone but I like flowers and digital editing. I can see that I will however lean a lot about portraits from you. Thanks for the informative note!

TFS and also for the nice comment on my rainbow parakeet shot

Wia

Beautiful portrait - I love the catchlights in the eyes, which really bring them to life. Nice use of the light.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

This little guy has it made sitting in his "Safety 1" with its comfortable padding and many accesories as he waits for the next photo of his handsome face. Love those giant peepers and warm smile.
