Hailey wanted me to take a couple pics of her this evening in her new clothes, so I tossed up a makeshift background and captured a few snapshots... I quickly realized shooting a 2yo isn't all it's cut out to be, lol. This is my favorite shot of the series.

(Shot w/K100D & kit lens, PP in CS4)

...and a couple edits using Imagenomic Portraiture v2

As always, exif is attached and C&C welcomed!

Crop it and it's a winner. Nice shot.

You did a great job, and your title, "too cute" is right on.
I like the first one the best.

Just my taste, but I prefer natural looking, especially for kids. I like the first one - she's SO cute! I don't do people pictures much and portraits not at all so I don't know what I'm talking about here. But I like the original framing because it looks more casual and not as much like a formal portrait. I think it matches her expression better, but perhaps you were trying for a more true portrait look? Take this as my own personal, uneducated opinion.

Yes the first one is great it looks relaxed and natural and it helps having a such a cute subject.

No.1 for me too, and isn't she so cute, a great shot captured with love.

and can kids ever be too cute lol
you need to find a way to get her to ask you to take photos more often
she looks like a great model and is enjoying this shoot
how many photos did you manage to take ?

Great photos of an indeed very cute subject. I also like #1 the best.

Very nice!

Too cute is right. She's growing up to be quite the little looker.

I, too, like the 1st one best. More natural and relaxed.
