3. #2

the background on the first is a distraction

[HEyHEY]

6. Hey buddy!

Ain't seen you in a long time!

[fishnfla]

8. i been watching you like a hawk

when you picked up them hitchhikers , they said they were going to "the sub" ( was it?) what did they mean?

[HEyHEY]

4. As sweet as the little cutie is....

I'd go for the one with the color. Hard choice.

[HEyHEY]

5. I really wanna use her somewhere - in colour

I'll probably go with the chute though - it's what everyone seems to like

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Do you have room for two photos?

Or somewhere inside? A second section? She is adorable.

[HEyHEY]

9. I do, but they were at the same event

AND - I won't be able to get her in colour - oh wait! I just checked the dummy! I for some odd reason my publisher gave me more colour!

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Wonderful!!!!

I am happy to hear the term "dummy" is still used. Worked in editorial (features) at the Chicago Tribune for a while in the early 1970s. Such a familiar term, thought it might have gone the way of the dinosaur in this digital age.

15. Well, we also say "Box" as in "I have to box the paper"

:-)

17. We never used that term.

This was still in the days of "hot type". I remember being in the composing room one time when the foundry caught fire. What a smell! All that melting lead.

14. #2 Kids 'n 'Chutes

It's great pic both for color and composition. I like the slightly skewed angle.

I like the top one, but her face is too dark. The contrast is a little much. Can you lighten it a bit? Just enough to see her face more clearly.

[HEyHEY]

16. I tried - doesn't seem to work well enough

I'll probably keep trying though

[Wickerman]

18. Hey' go with the chute

the little one is adorable, but I agree, maybe too dark. Nice shots!

:thmbsup:

19. I like the girl

if you had some time to work on her. As someone mentioned, the background on her is distracting, so crop in as tight as you can. Don't worry if you cut into her a bit to do it. The focus is all on the eyes and smile anyway.

In Photoshop, use the dodge tool to lighten up the shadows on her face a tad.

Both will work, but I'm partial to faces and you can never lose with cute kids.

[HEyHEY]

20. yeah - I hadn't thought of the dodge tool - I'lll give er a shot
