I like the composition of this. She is a cutie. My girls have been playing dress up a lot lately too.

It looks a tad underexposed to me. I kind of like how the focus fell on the flowers and left her face out of focus.

Was going to say the same as Meliss about the focus. What a sweet girl. It is so neat to watch them play dress up! My DD loves to dress up!

I have all boys... so I love seeing the girly dress-up! Dress up at our house involves swords & capes!

Love the the way you set the focus on the flowers not on her face. You should lighten it just a little it is just slightly underexposed. But, it's a beautiful picture!

I like this a lot, too. For the same reasons as the others. Would be nice if you could have reflected a little light onto her face. That's easy to say after the fact, huh? lol.

Thanks for the feedback ladies. I agree natural light would have been much better and it is a tad too dark. I purposley set the focus on the flowers rather than have the entire picture in focus. I liked the way she was looking down and I wanted to emphasis what she was looking at.

Cute! A touch more flash on her face would have been nice, but if you shot in RAW you could probably just go lighten it a bit. Of course that would lighten the flowers too and I like the saturation of those. :) Looks nice!
