Allows Edits? YesI’d guess that the single most powerful piece of photography advice that I ever received was “get closer.”
When I look at my compositions before I took that seriously, I kind of cringe at the good shots I missed.
So this throwdown is to post a photo where you think the composition is better because you got closer to the subject.

Cute shot of a very willing & beautiful subject! 🙂
I’ve gone through something very similar with this shot over the weekend, eliminating grandma sitting on Kayleigh’s left. I like the (flash) light showing up in her eyes so I brought her just a little closer. I might bring her even closer like you did. The sun was not my best friend here…
PS: I did not take chances with the sunscreen lotion! 😉

In fact, why not bring her even closer…

Allows Edits? YesI feel a lugie coming on.
Every time I have gotten close to one of these guys I have gotten spit at, and if you have ever experienced that it is like 12oz of spit at once. -

Tried to get closer and get a somewhat different shot of a flower, as I already have hundreds of flowers pics 😉

I liked this one because it looks like the Iris has teeth and is sticking out its tongue -

Rob and Tobie – the girls are lovely. Great smiles! It feels like you’ve hit the jackpot when you can catch a moment like that.

Thanks Leanne! Someone taught her to say ‘cheeeeeese!’ during shots and I hate that because it’s easy to pick up when lip-reading her pics. Now and again I catch her off-guard during a real laugh (I think this one was after she accidentally slipped into the hole) and then I get the shots I love from her. The challenge is to be ready at all times…
This was another one in ICU after I bumped my knee against her bed in order to take a shot (amazing sense of humour, regardless where she is!) and I said ‘ouch!’ (it really was sore). At this stage we had to handhold her head as she was still too weak to keep it upright all by herself. It’s a bad quality mobile phone shot but it gives you the idea:
I love this shot of yours above. Not always easy to expose the whites correctly so you’ve done well here.

That is a GREAT smile, Tobie! I can empathize with the “cheese”-y shots. The other ones I get are “hiding” or deliberate sabotage (I have an eight year old who isn’t above looking ridiculous if it mucks up my photo – what she doesn’t realize is that I am making a collage of all these shots that I will share on her grad day…hahA!). Anyway, smiling and having a great sense of humour will serve your little one well in this crazy world!
