  Thank you Kimberly and Nicole.
I felt awful putting Jenny through that operation. She was sick for 10 hours afterwards. But it paid off not only cosmetically but her vision also improved.

Alison Greenwood
  Thank you all so much!!! :o)
I am ecstatic!
I have only been on betterphoto for one month. My confidence was non-existent before I joined. I thought my family and friends were just being biased when they told me my photography was good. I should have listened.

I'd like to thank all my family and friends for believing in me.
I'd also like to thank betterphoto and its members for providing me with a place to show my work get some un-biased feedback.
To receive a finalist badge for my work! WOW! What a Christmas present!
Congratulations to all the finalists!
Have a great Christmas everyone!

This is a wonderful portrait. Everything is PERFECT in it; the light, the composition, the focus, the colors, the way you've used the glow filter. A very well-deserved Finalist!!!

  This is fantastic. I love the lighting and your daughter is so cute. Do you have any shots to post of when they were babies? I am photographing twins in the next couple of weeks and am looking for poses. Also may I ask how you lit this one?

  Thanks everyone! You are all so kind!
Michelle, I had 2 tungstens either side of Jenny at 45 degree angles. One had a white translucent umbrella pointing directly at her and the other had a silver/black umbrella facing away from her with the light reflecting back onto her. Hope this helps :o)
