The lighting was very harsh on this one, aside from not shooting in mid day sun, I am thinking maybe this should be b/w??? Not sure what else to do, I just love all the ducks coming toward her...

These are so adorable! Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are my favorites. I love how little she seems in comparison with the tower in number 2, the conversion and utterly candid moment in number 3 are fantastic, and the emotion of number 4 is so very sweet. Perhaps cropping a bit more off the bottom of 4 would pull the focus more on the adult and child.

As for the last one, it would be interesting to see in B&W. I'd watch out for that harsh highlight on her hair blowing out more in the conversion, though.

Overall, a sweet sentiment very nicely captured. :thumb

Nice shots I like #3 & #4 best =)

Thank you for the suggestions... I agree, I think her hair is too blown out in number 4 for the conversion to work, it may, I may try it.... I cropped in a bit on the one of the two of us... I think I like it better, but I also liked the water in the original picture, so I may play around with that crop!!!

I appreciate the kind remarks. :)

These are really good shots, technically and very well composed. Great job, love B&W one, what your conversion method? Would love to hear it :thumb

Sheps Mom, I had to laugh when you asked what the method was, only because I really don't have one, I just sort of wing it... I used Lightroom for that one, but I use PHotoshop for some still, I Have not really worked through a work flow for that... The one here I used a LR preset then adjusted the exposure/tone and recovery until it looked right...

Thank you very much for your kind comments... I really appreciate it! :)

No problem, i don't have LR, i had trial version and didn't care for it. I only use PS. May be that's why i have no real skill in processing LOL
