I love the expression on her face..like the sunshine is just a little too bright. I love the way it is hitting her, and the floor. She is so cute. Very nicely done, Sheri.
Sheri - Cheerios - the breakfast of champions - all children must be champs! She is a very cute young lady. You are fortunate to have a child model that is willing to sit for more than nanoseconds. The sunlight is quite bright; more likely the white outfit she is wearing bringing this to light (so to speak). Thad
That lighting is rather harsh, Sheri. If you have windows with white sheers, they'll help considerably. North facing windows are best with no direct sun, and provide lovely features modeling. And don't be afraid to increase your ISO speed to 400 or even 800 to give you higher shutter speeds/smaller lens openings in low light levels.
Doug sure gave you and us some good advice Sheri. I would have removed/cropped whatever that is on the right side. That being said it is a wonderful shot and your use of natural lighting will only get better and better. This is a true beauty. The saying is overused but she does look like a little doll.
