It's Monday again! This weeks theme is "Self Portrait". The rules basically are, I have to hold the camera and take the shot. I'm entering the "Kids" section, so I have to have at least one kid face in the shot with my own. This selection got the most "votes" from friends in this post (where you can see some more of the pics from my shoot yesterday). I had a nice cloudy day which gives some really cool lighting effects. That glow is caused by shooting up from the ground with the cloudy sky behind us. Really turned out better than I expected! The only editing I did was to sharpen just a touch and do some color stuff with her eyes. I figured out a way to approximate some of the awesome "eye popping" I saw in photos from last weeks challenge.
Anyways. Any feedback is appreciated! And I love new readers :) You can keep up with my photographic journey by clicking on the "Follow" button in the sidebar!

Gorgeous! I love the natural lighting.
I love it, she is so precious.
What gorgeous eyes your daughter has!
Phenomenal that you didn't do much more than sharpen. That light is to die for!
Great Shot!
Ha ha ha! I love that you couldn't decide which one to use this week...that's SO something I do EVERY week! The one you chose is very sweet. I love that you're looking back at your daughter - it's very sweet. I also like #5 with all 3 (well 2.5) of you in the photo and you're looking straight on and smiling! Nice job on the colors and lighting too!
Hi Herb :D I love your entry - your daughters eyes are stunning. I scrolled down a bit too and saw that you did give B&W a shot - I liked that too :D My 'secrets' are not so secret - play with Picnik!! Check out my comments (in answer to yours)to see what I did with mine!
