What Do You Think?

This is one of my favorite pictures I took of my granddaughter, but I have a question. Should I take out her hair that is blowing up on the top of her head?

[Esther Rosenberg]

I would say yes, but don't ask me how....lol. What a happy shot and love the light. I can see how this is one of your favorite captures.

Great light glowing from and all around your granddaughter. As Esther said, this is such a happy shot! (As for her hair, composition-wise, maybe yes, but I do like the natural look of the wind blowing her hair. So that's a non-answer, I guess.

[Betsey]

No, it adds to the photo in my estimation.

@dutchothotmailcom @365projectorgheatherb @berelaxed Thank you, I sincerely appreciate your answers and opinions.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I would also say no. It makes sense as part of the scene and all beaches have some windy spots. I think it adds to the spontaneity of the moment too. Great shot- love her smile!

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

No ... I would not. She is walking along the beach and her hair is expected to be blowing or not be absolutely perfect.

[Milanie]

Such a beautiful granddaughter - and while ordinarily I'd say yes, in the beach location I think it looks fine - goes with the surroundings - and also like the way you caught the light.

[Rick]

Great shot. I think the hair like it is, is fine. As mentioned, it is on the windy beach.

[gloria jones]

Great capture of your pretty granddaughter...Wind swept hair goes with the beach scene.

[Babs]

If it was in a different setting I would say yet, but because it is a beach scene and the breeze is blowing I would leave it as it is.

[amyK]

Nice shot. I would leave the hair as is; I do not find it distracting at all.

@olivetreeann @ggshearron @milaniet @rickster549 @seattlite @onewing @amyk Thank you so much for your comments. I do agree that her windswept hair fits the beach scene. I appreciate all of you taking time to comment.

[Diane]

I agree that her windblown hair adds to the photo. She is beautiful--such a great smile.

[Brigette]

I say no! Beach hair is beach hair! If it was a portrait then yes… but not in this case! My 2 cents

[Diana]

It is perfect, such a beautiful young lady and shot!

[haskar]

Beautiful capture. I like the light that envelops the figure. This slight mess on the head adds charm and is so natural.

[Issi Bannerman]

Makes it more natural. Love the portrait.

[Lesley Aldridge]

I would say no, a lovely natural photo

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Susan Wakely]

I like the naturalness of this so therefore leave the hair.

[Steve Chappell]

Fantastic portrait! I'd leave the hair I think

[Lou Ann]

I think she’s perfect just like she is.

[Jo Worboys]

I'd say absolutely not. It shows sea breeze, movement and fun. Natural is the best

[Joanne Diochon]

NO, I think the hair is fine.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I'm definitely not an expert on these kind of things, but I really like it the way it is. I like the wispy look of her hair in the wind and it's so natural looking.

[Boxplayer]

Well I'm late to the party, but I'm with the no's. It's such a real portrait.

[Junko Y]

What a delightful portrait -- and I love how the hair signals the motion in the air and adds to the casual ambience of the portrait

[borof]

This picture is perfect as it is. The wind is almost always blowing on the beach, badger hair is natural. A real happy young face.

[Bob Zwolinsky]

Leave the hair, it's part of the charm of the picture.

[Carole Sandford]

This is a lovely shot! The hair fits with the environment, I would leave it.

[Ingrid]

What great shot! Like most above, I would leave the hair untouched because she is at the beach.

[Laura]

Wonderful shot. Beautiful lighting. She's at the beach, the wind is blowing. I would leave her alone.

[wendy frost]

A wonderful beach capture with the light shining down on her hair. I would probably make a copy to alter the hair and then you can see which one you prefer and you still have the original.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment and say such nice things about my shot. This is a wonderful group of people!

[Jane Pittenger]

Absolutely not. It adds to the story

[Jan Talmon]

Leave it as it is. This is not a portrait shoot, but a beautiful and happy granddaughter that was enjoying herself on the beach.

@jgpittenger @talmon Thanks so much, Jane and Jan. I appreciate your comments and value your opinions.
