Hi Sheila!!
No reflector for this one - though I did use a diffuser and a 45 degree bounce on the speedlight. She has an unforgettable smile!

Ummm . . . "ANOTHER"? I don't keep any images I cannot post due to 'copyright violation' so you can't have another until you've had a first . . . and I just KNOW you're not accusing me of anything . . . or I'll start cutting out luches to get over there where you are and administer the sound thrashing you'd deserve. It's a long trip and it should take me some time to get there so you can start 'working out' to get ready. To be fair, I'll likely be weaker (having missed so many lunches) and tired from the journey . . . so I'll expect you to feed me and ply me with a beverage and some place to recuperate and rest . . . LoL!
Actually . . . this kind of photo thing is tough to do to most of us . . . not just you. It takes more patience than I have anymore . . . or the left arm would be better merged using a graduated blending. :)

Thanks Chad . . . since the BG is an add on so it was easy to apply a gaussian blur before layering.

Thanks VERY much Robin. I saw the issue Paul pointed out before posting it but still loved the shot anyway . . . pulled the ratings down more to share the shot than evaluate but I am surprised at how many people seem to really like this one. Of course, you clearly recognize the unsurpassed beautiful qualities in this lovely seraphic child's incredible . . . adorable . . . innocent little smile. ( *sigh* ) What a cutie!

Thought this was going to be another "copyright violation" shot for a minute, 'til I spotted your acknowledgment for using a borrowed background!
Not my kind of shot, but only cos I'm c**p at doing this sort of thing. And I have to say, the PS work does seem to make her leap out of the screen!
Superb work, as always...

Smily little face with great eyes and so nice skin color...EVEN under the flash light! Good job Doyle, a beautiful little lady and nice pose about the tilt head, I always like that effect on portrait.
Be well!

OMG...I feel like she's sitting right in front of me, amazing! I don't even know where to start...
Sorry, I was scrolling and composing my thoughts...hope I can articulate what's swimming through my coffee soaked brain! First, the clarity of Jenna's beautiful little face is spot-on. The tones are wonderful...from her auburn hair to her pink cheeks and lips to those gorgeous baby blues. Composition/crop/placement, whatever...perfect. Combining the two shots...you done good my friend! Have to agree with Paul, IMNSEWCO (in my not so experienced with composites opinion) the only imperfection(?) is barely visible along her arm. Great work Doyle...I'd give you a seven if you let me, and not just because of the grandkid factor!
Take care...Robin

It's certainly possible!! I'd drop a Ming Dynasty vase just to hear her giggle. I'd mail her my mustache if she wanted it . . . but the attraction is apparently the one hair at a time pull . . . and Grampa's response. :P
