What a beautiful girl. She must give you so much pleasure and joy.
I like the second one, purely for its clarity.
The first one would have been superb, but I feel that the face in the mirror should be more focused. Particularly the eyes. Try it again as this would be a top shot. Well that is my humble opinion anyway.
Well done though...keep on snapping.

Hey Thanks I know with the first shot since i couldnt use flash, by the time i got the tripod out to use it she didnt wanna cooperate again and was getting too close or too far away from the mirror.:) She is beautiful, but she doesnt like to do what i want her to do. I am gonna keep trying though thanks for the comments! always appreciated.

Hey Jackiee I just thought of something. Not sure what camera you have, but why not put it into basic zone and choose sport mode. That way you will overcome any slight movement lil one will make. Also will take continuous shooting and you can then choose the best of shots.

There are many links online and I must do some reading myself.
Anyone else have great links, I am sure we would love to have them.

Beautiful little girl! I like the first photo better. Did you decide on the portrait photo yet? The second one looks a little overexposed. Shoot with a higher shutter speed for little ones! (Not saying you didn't I was just saying lol) What were the settings on the photos?

Thank You and I believe i just put it on portrait on my camera but the first shot was f4 1/8sec and ISO 400 and the second one was f3.5 1/500sec and ISO 100. and i did pick my photo and this is the one i used and i got a 9/10 so not bad good enough for me i tried and again she didnt wanna cooperate but i still think it turned out good.

Thank you now i just have to do that good on the last assignment which is gonna be hard for me since i gotta learn the abstract thing, i cant really get out of the house and to an interesting place to get a landscape shot and i dont know what i am gonna take for at night i tried a few the other night of my neighborhood but im not sure exactly what they want for it because it came out all sorts of ways with different shutter speeds. But im hoping to figure it out i might put some of the night shots i came up with on here to get peoples opinions on which i should use since im not exactly sure what to go for with it. It helps to have other students to help you out.
