I like the effects shown in this composite..layering. I like this technique... when used with the right portrait it is complelling. The colors and tones work well...though the center seems too bright and reducing the texutres that gives the billowy dress another dimension. Of course the stretching distortion of the leg and view up the chin is also a consideration for next time...mayby not a wide angle lens? Now take the latest version of your daughter on the grass which has all these issues addressed...and apply the composite/layering...there is a winner.

Thanks all for the feed back !!

Ken the stretching was done in post don't ask why it just appealed to me !! :rolleyes: Unfortunately I had a different idea in mind when I shot this as my poor daughter was actually lying upside down on a flight of stairs for this and all the blood went to her face ,poor mite actually stayed this was for 15mins while I played around with different ideas afraid to take a deep breath for fear of sliding down the stairs head first !! :biggrin: Any fool can be a parent I never claimed to be a good one !! :wink:
