This is Nicki, my oldest daughter. She is 9 years old, and I use her as my model very often. She was getting ready for a dance retical and I loved her excitment so off I went to find my camera. She loves ballet, and performing on stage.

Used natural light shaded by a white screen. I added image grain to the image...still not sure if I like it grainy or not. Post processing really just included some dodge and burn and USM.

Stunning image! I feel the grain adds a certain element of youth and innocence element to your capture. Great composition.

I love the grain here! Because the photo is so sharp it really blends in well and her expression is priceless and beautiful

Killer eyes! I like the grain, but I could see it working either way. The important thing is you captured her beautiful, laughing smile.

this is just beautiful! really energetic and full of life. I think agree with you on not being sure about the grain. I feel like it might be taking away from her natural freckles and might be making the image a little flatter... I think I'd like to see without!
