Title: B&W of my daughter
Post by: clbryant1981 on April 18, 2011, 10:49:01 AM
She doesn't like being daddy's model so I have to sneak a shot when I can.  I wish I would have gotten her standing to the right of the frame, but before I could take another pic she caught me and moved.  Next time I'll catch it and do it right from the start.

It's a wonderful picture.
I'm sure she will LOVE it when she's older.

I have a lot of shots like this, not to worry though, it's still a keeper. ;)

Wow.   I love beautiful pictures that violate all the "rules for good pictures", and still come out great.   The conventional wisdom is "leave some room in the frame for her to move into", but this one works.   The tilted horizon balances the composition and the hard backlighting makes a dramatic framing for her face, which then becomes the central feature of the image.

It all comes together.  Who was it who said "chance favors the prepared mind?"

That's an heirloom shot.

The exposure makes it hard to see, but the boekh of the trees in the background is great.   What lens did you use?    I tonemapped the original, and the sharpness and depth of field is much better than your image suggests.    You might want to make a copy and play with it a bit.   This one will sing with a little adjustment.

I really, really like good B&W portraits.
