I played with this using Gimp but can't take credit for the pic. I've no skill at all using a camera. http://dadster.deviantart.com/art/Blue-Eyes-75272763 Honest critique please. I'll pass it on to my daughter. Dadster

Usually I try to take it one day at a time, but lately several have attacked me all at once......

Good job!
I got to tell ya, there's something about B&W photos that I enjoy. Sure, people can be dazzled by color, but the moody effects can be just as dramatic. Now if you didn't title the image "Blue Eyes" I might have missed it. How do you do that?
Cheers

Actually, the shot is pretty professional looking... and it looks as though she did it while holding the camera out?? Rather talented. Maybe a more appropriate title such as "Snow Princess"? Excellent job kiddo

Thanks guys. She took a bunch that day and some I thought were really good but then I'm the dad so I don't count. I'll have her read these posts. Yea Paul she held the camera out to take that shot. Maybe this Christmas present will end up a good investment. Guess I could have made the eyes more blue Jaws or brighter to be noticed. I used the spray paint in gimp to color the eyes. What I was going for was a hint of color. Something that would catch the eye and hold interest. Hey Paul You got pretty eyes too, Thanks for sharing. Seriously Great job. They look good. Thanks again. Dadster

No, that wasn't a criticism, the eyes look just right. Actually my eyes were drawn to the gloved hand as the darkest element of the image. The hair and hand frame the face, perfect!
Care to give the camera details. I'm always interested.
Cheers

Hi Jaws You know the funny thing about her eyes?....... They're really brown. She was laughing when I showed her the pic. Her weapon of choice is a Kodak Easy Share C813. Don't know what setting she used for that picture. The camera only has a 3x optical zoom. I think the digital zoom is something like 8x. Not sure. She read the posts here and now her head needs a bigger pillow for support at night. Catch ya later Dadster

Very beautiful picture indeed! There is a kind of fairy tale aura about it. Maybe making the snow covered ground in the lower left corner just a tiny bit darker would help making your eyes center more on her face? - just a suggestion
