Default Re: First picture post - no idea what I'm doing!

Hay looking good ! I am so glad you got up the nerve to post, you did great on the first one. Great pose and light. She is a real cutie!

There were dozens of pics that got trashed because her head looked enormous!
Check and see if you were shooting at a real wide angle, if you are that will make what is closest to lens look bigger from what I have read here.

I have a question about the wb adjustments in Lightroom though. I chose daylight which set it at 5500 plus added 10 on tint. If I'd chosen flash wb, the preset on Lightroom is to add no tint. Which is the correct selection? Or is it just personal preference?
The white balance looks good to me, I think AlienBees are 5600K if I remember right. If you have a gray card try shooting a custom white balance, I just started doing that and it is easer to get it right in the camera than doing it in post.

Glad you decided to join us, hope to see lots more from you in the near future.
