Keira has always loved swings. She will happily stay on them as long as there is someone around to push her (She hasn't yet worked out how to keep herself swinging, but when she does she'll probably play on them even longer). It's funny how some kids love swings, and others love slides. Reuben's a slide boy and Keira's a swing girl. I wonder what Aubrey will be, he seems to enjoy both!
I played around with the editing again, still not able to do what I'd like to though :(
@canberrabec Thankyou. There are a couple of things I've been trying to do. One is to mist or fade out the edges of the photo. Another is to get that soft focus but without losing the detail. On this one I used the spotlight effect in PSE which did lighten up her face as she was backlit, but I've lost some of the sharpness from it. Maybe I should just start shooting in RAW as well.
@exposure4u@mickeym@pfmandeville@pwallis Thank you all. I loved her expression here but because of the backlighting her face was so dark. I guess the editing lit her up at least!
