Dear Jenny,
thanks for taking the time to teach me a few things!
Unfortunely even though I had planned for the shot I thought the dress color looked ALOT different when I put it one her- maybe I was colorblind that morning. You are right, I will try this again with a more neutral colored outfit. Thanks for all the helpful points!!!

There are several things you might do to help the lighting.
1) Come back on a cloudy day or wait for a cloud to cover the sun - this will reduce the contrast and glare and make it much easier to see things right. This is your best option when circumstances allow.
2) Use some fill flash - this means make sure your camera uses flash even in the middle of the bright day. You may have to specifically tell it to stay on. This will add some light to the shadow areas, reduce the contrast, and make it more balanced with the sun.
Your problem isn't really too much light from the sun, the problem is too much contrast. The darks are really dark and the brights are really bright, and that's too far apart for your film/paper/digital image/whatever. You can't control the sun itself, but you can put extra light in the dark areas so they aren't quite as dark, and then the whole picture will be more balanced and less glaring.
Additionally, if you had any choice in the girl's clothes, try something deep blue or light white or tan or gray or some neutral color; pink and orange are an unfortunate combination. Not sure if this was set up ahead of time or not though.

Hi Marianne I like the photo as it is and wouldn't change anything - rather would I say the red lips make it special (10 people 10 opinions)

i just want to comment- that i "masked" the lips" and desaturated the rest of the photo - I did not enhance any color. I am new at this- but wouldnt that mean the lips ARE The natural color? I will upload the original color/w flash image and you can judge for yourself. Thanks, Marianne

beautiful capture but
here again see Daniel Schmidtka's photograph of a boy few steps after you. Daniel decided to remove Photoshop effect from eyes and he did a right thing. why not keeping lips of this gorgeous girl just natural?...

Marianne, This is a lovely portrait of this baby. Good lighting and contrast, and showing her at peace. Desaturating is good, but I think I would have done more to her lips. Also, I think maybe if you look at it totally without color, you would be pleased with the results. I hope you gave a print to her Mother, as I am sure she would treasure this wonderful capture. Regards.

A priceless image! This little gal has 'attitude', and was not a happy camper at the time of shooting. (-:
Suggestion: If you use photoshop, blur the background.

Dear Matej, thank you for your comments, I too- am bugged by the metal leg- i thought of trying to erase it in photoshop and here is the result!I also rotated it for you , but I like it better the other way- maybe I am "off-kilter" . :-)
Thanks so much, Marianne

A lovely, emotional photo. I find it a bit unnatural looking at them at this angle, I'm very much inclined to tilt my head. Maybe you could try rotating the photo 90 degrees clockwise; it wouldn't be the original take, but it would let me appreciate both their expressions.
The lighting you have here is very good. Initially I thought a bit more contrast wouldn't hurt, but looking at it longer I believe it's quite good enough as it is. The catchlights in their eyes are wonderful, and it's a good thing that there aren't any unwanted reflections in the man's glasses. Excellent job with the light.
The metal leg is disturbing as it seems to be growing out of the man's chest. I realise that the strength of the capture lies elsewhere, but still things like this are good to watch out for as they can ruin an otherwise perfect photograph.
