Nice portrait with warm friendly colors. She has very beautiful eyes. Im not an expert but I think the picture could be improved a bit if you removed the fingers. Not a big deal it's still a very nice picture. #75597

Thanks for your comments, I'll play around with it in Photoshop and see what I come up with! #274202

Lovely portrait, she has a beautiful little face. I think the fingers actually give a nice reference point, shows some proportion and relation between two parts of her body. I think the comp works really well, don't change a thing! #274955

The fingers nagged me the the first time I saw the picture. I played around myself and removed the fingers by taping on my monitor. It looked better for a while but then something was missing... The face sort of hanged in mid-air.

Amy, I think you are right. The fingers gives anice reference point.

What do you think Darcey? (Hope I didnt confuse you to much :-) #275562

I did clone out the fingers and saved a copy that way, but I do prefer it with her hand in it. Tom, youre right, her face did seem to just "float" there without her hand. Thanks for the feedback, I always appreciate it! #276042
