Hello fine Pentax Forum!

Thought I'd put up a couple of recent shots of my 5yr old daughter. She's become quite the model!

The first shot was taken wide open with the siggy 30mm 1.4. The second was f4 with the DA* 50-135 at 50mm

Nice shots Bob... the lighting on the 2nd is really good considering that it's under a tree... nice backlight on the hair. It's the better of the two pics for me. The B&W is nice, but too long and too much hat, it would probably be better with some of the hat cropped off?

Thanks Algi - interesting feedback, I'd not considered cropping for the first shot. I'll have a play later.

Really nice shots, 2nd one is the best, but i like the expression in the first, well done.
All the best

Algi - good suggestion on cropping the first shot:

I'm fascinated by the tree on her Left side.

just look at the texture you got - there's a sort of face there - it's very interesting .
let the education continue

Two very nice shots, although not sure eyes are sharp on the first, which they need to be for a close up.

The tree has become a type of Rorschach Test!

I agree - the focus isn't quite spot on for the eyes, but for me considering the style of shot, I think I get away with it.

That's much better and (for me) the eyes are sharp enough.... it's a soft focus shot anyway

She's also central in the crop, which wasn't the case with the original.
