I had this printed for the mother as a 16x20 on embassy texture, sprayed and mounted on 2mm styrene. I am always very nervous when UPS arrives and I open the package to see what I have, and I was very happy with this print. The blue eyes really jump out at you, but are not overbearing. This shoot was difficult as neither of the two little girls were cooperating, but I think I got lucky on this shot. Thanks for taking a look!

I think the shot would have been better if you were holding the camera horizontally instead of sideways.

It's probably my crappy monitor; however, it looks as if the mommy and baby are a little out of focus.

What was your aperture setting? Was your focal point on the middle girl?

Or is it the crop ?
Was the photo originaly landscape ?
I would rather see the three of them in focus.
f 11 Large DOF, HD in the "middle". :D
The ideia is great. I' m sure they all liked the photo.

Actually the original photo was a landscape. It was just a shoot from the hip picture. The shoot was for the middle daughter, and the mom was trying to get her to relax and sit still so she layed down with her. The f-stop was f8.0 and I had the center focus on and I also noticed that the other two girls were slightly out of focus, but the oldest daughter only sat there about 10 seconds. I cropped this several different ways and thought this was the best. The mother was very happy with the results, but I too would have liked the overall focus to be sharper.....

Thanx for the comments!

It was. I ran it throught the smart sharpen in CS2. This was printed as a 16x20 and really, it stands up on its own. I set it on a print already hanging on the wall, and stepped back and it really does look just fine.
