Thread: lots more for CC....(SOOC added plays welcome!)

You up for it??? If not, I understand!
I realize there are quite a bit, so if you only want to do a few thats fine.

1. f/3.2, 1/640 (could have lowered ISO) ISO-800


2. f/3.5, 1/640, ISO-400


3. stats are wiped out on this one. I bet f/3.2 SS- 150+


4. f/3.2, ISO-400, SS 1/160


5. stats wiped out


6. f/5.6, ISO-800, SS-1/200
Is the colors on this one right?? Something is way off, but I can't figure it out...


7. Something off here too...any help?

Hey there! I only have a quick second, so I will just do first impressions. Dont I dont intend to sound harsh!

1. very unflattering pose, wide stripes, combined with smooshed up pose combined with reflection... Also appears under-exposed and off on color
2 adorable face! Wish we had more eye contact or interaction with wagon or book, not sure how they tell the story here...
3 another cutie! skin tones seem green and edit feels a tad bright
4 better than 1, watch for dappled light on base of dress... also seems soft
5 not loving the elbow chops here, but good light in her eyes
6 color is waaay off, spots are blown and lots of chopped feet... but nice lifestyle feel
7 super green little one... also appears over exposed...

I'm on my laptop and it's not recently calibrated, so I can't comment on color so much.

1 Is Ok, I like what you were going for. I know I said I wasn't going to comment on color, but her face looks like it has a blue cast.
2 That boy is adorable, but I have to agree with the above on wanting to see more of what's in his hands.
3 Adorable!
4 Wish she had stood up a bit more, maybe put her shoulders back a bit? I think that would have made it a bit better
5 Cute, but it doesn't quite look like you have full eye contact
6 I'm afraid this one looks a bit too snap shotty...maybe if you had gotten a bit lower it would have been a better angle.
7 This one seems way too bright and yellow

I think you are doing great and love seeing you post!

2. I will work on the hands and show you the whole one, but the reason I cropped it like it is, is b/c his pants did something weird and they look almost like a skirt?!?!

7. doesn't look this bad on my computer, but I knew there was something up. Will work on it too.

THANKS!

nevermind...fixing them both b/c I am not satisfied...

Sadie, really nice shots! I think you've already gotten some great CC, but just wanted to say I love #3 and #4. (I used to be a pretty heavy girl, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been happy seeing myself in #1, but #4 is lovely. Genuine smile and very attractive and flattering!)

FRUSTRATED!!! Giving up for the night!
This ANY better???

You already got great cc, but just wanted to add that for me, most of these just look over-edited, and a few look muddy/not sharp (?). I do really like 3, 4, and 5. But in #5 her eyes look too white and her shirt looks blown.

Sadie, I think the contrast/blacks might be too high in both the pics of the little boy...?

I really like 4 a lot, and think she will, too - I see improvement everytime you post pics...thanks for the motivation to get to work!

I just don' tknow what to do. I feel so down about editing. I need advice. Anyone?? I know some aren't 100% crisp. IDK what to do...
