Default Almost a girl
Hi folks,

I was messing about with my Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 taking some candids of my daughter in natural light. This one really stuck out to me. To me (at least) it shows a toddler on the cusp of becoming a little girl. 2008 has been such a big year for her and I'm sure I dont have to remind any of the many other parents on the camel 'how quickly they grow'!

Anyway, it was something I just wanted to share.

Any C&C is of course always welcome too!!

Regards,

G

A very pretty little girl.

I have a good looking 4 year old son.... I will contact you by PM in 16 years to arrange the dowry

A question of personal taste of course but the colors are so bright they hurt the eye on this grey winters day.

I love the Tamron 2.8, and need to play with it more often. Good image. I want her to smile though! She is probably mirroring daddy's face, since daddy is sad that his little girl is disappearing. I know I have felt that sorrow.

The colours are bright on my home monitor but not my work one. Both are calibrated but due for recalibration.

Regarding dowry: We are in the meat business and can arrange a number of cows, sheep, goats etc...

I think it was a Steve Martin movie where whenever he looks at his daughter getting married, he is looking at a baby in a wedding dress. When I look at this pic, I keep seeing a baby! However, there is something about this pic and I've seen it in one of Fran's where whilst they still look like kids, you get a bit of a flickering glimpse of what they'll look like as an adult. I personally find it exciting to see her grow up but wonder where all the time has gone. Also she keeps getting more and more beautiful...me on the other hand, each year brings another fold here and another wrinkle there!

Anyway, enough digression.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

George, I saw that you allow editing and I couldn't resist.

Just added a vignette, nothing else to this first one. Then a b/w conversion. The blacks went pretty dark, but I liked it so I didn't change it.

Thanks for the opportunity to play around with editing. Your daughter is adorable. I can't wait to see more photos of her as you guys enter your Spring season. Pink was made for little girl clothes, especially little girls like this one.

No problems Sis,

I like the edit. I have a couple of edits with various vignettes. I typically put a vignette on all my pics and sometimes even use a double vignette. On this one for some reason, I decided against it. I also have a monochrome version but its not as nice as yours.

Thanks anyway and thanks also to everybody else on the camel for the comments. Its good to be back!!

Regards,

G

The colors are a little over-saturated. That was my first reaction. My second reaction is that children live in a bright and colorful world and that the super saturated colors are apropos.

And I agree with all. She is a stunningly beautiful child.
