Helpful Posts: Well our daughter nicknamed as the forum 'Fashionista' is now 20 yrs old, periodically we give her the speech..... "when I was your age, I was living on my own, supporting myself etc etc
but she's still here!, so I try to nab her for a pic whenever I can, if I spy her dressed up, before she goes out for the evening....
I have heard of parents downsizing their home so there's no room for the kids! .... we haven't got to that stage just yet.. & I'm sure we will be glad to have her around, when her brother heads to Melbourne Uni (fingers crossed) next year.
Thankyou for viewing

Re: ... the kids just don't leave home these days
Lovely young lady... On my computer, the image looks a bit bright. However, I have just changed lighting in my computer room from incandescent to LED. Although I used my Huey Pro to calibrate my monitor, I am not sure whether the monitor is on or not...

Portraits are not my thing Kay but I can say you have done a nice job. Very lovely young lady indeed and you have clearly captured that quite well.

I know you can't wrap your kids up in cotton wool, but personally I'd not leave her out of my sight!

Re: ... the kids just don't leave home these days
Well Kay, if she's only 20, you could have another 10 yrs of this ! Or better still, she may want a male friend to live there too - now wouldn't that be fun
As for the photo, looks good to my untrained eye but perhaps a little bright on her left side ?

Re: ... the kids just don't leave home these days
Kay,
No problem here. I have a 22 yo boy I'm trying to drop out of the nest. I propose a simple trade.
Lovely shot, but agree the left side cold use a touch of luminance reduction.

Re: ... the kids just don't leave home these days
Thankyou for your comments Gentlemen, and I see what you mean, a bit of fill light on the darker side & less main light would be a much better balance.
Kevin if your young man can cook we may have a deal!
