[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 550135, member: 11881"] I don't like the look on her face. It seems indifferent and I would rather be somewhere else. I suspect I'm correct by the 10 minutes reference in your post. When your victim, or subject, doesn't want to be there it radiates through. I have some just like that with my daughter. Noticing a theme? LOL Don't like the background diagonal line cutting across the background of the photo. I would have shot at a longer focal length for better compression of your subject. Her head seems proportionally off and she seems hunched almost like, but not quite, like her knees are under her. A short focal length up close will do this disproportioning. A longer focal length compresses things and gets them proportionally corrected. She's lit well with the lighting you were doing, no real hot spots, catch light in the eyes, but there's an indifference to the feel of the subject/photo. My advice, you need to shoot her when she's up for doing it, use a longer focal length, and a different pose. At her age she should be, in my opinion, looking more alive.
