Kathy, This is a beautiful portrait! Your model has a sweet face and expression. I can't figure out what your set up is. Through the fence it looks like backlighting but doesn't explain the black on the sides. Is it a black backdrop with a fence prop or is this done outdoors and the black corners are edited in? Once again, it ocmes together into an excellent portrait. #1418289Kathy Williams-Walkup October 26, 2011
Thank you Laura. She is my granddaugter and this is her birhday picture. Just turned 6. :) I actually did take this outside next to the fence. I rotated the image clockwise and that caused the dark edges. #9764273Arthur Bohlmann October 26, 2011

Excellent photography Kathy.Your presentation is great. The rotation is just enough to add interest and make the portrait more dynamic. #9768433

Fantastic portrait! #9772978Mayra Thompson November 14, 2011
This is a great portrait and very innovative of you to rotate the picture. It comes together so very nicely. I am very far away from my grandchildren. You are a very lucky lady.Mayra #9802841
