Solid. I will get her to smile and go around the corner to avoid the construction. Sounds simple enough. How did you feel about the composition, posing, and lighting?

I think I agree with ConfusedUs, she needs to smile more. I think she looks almost like she's just doing it to humor you. Her disposition also carries out through her posing, as well. It looks to me like she's almost uncomfortable.

The biggest issue I've found with taking portraits (especially with children): If they're not having fun, or what have you, the pictures will definitely reflect that, regardless of the smile or pose.

As far as composition, to me (I'm still an amateur at best.) it seems a tad busy in the background, with the bricks, and especially in the 2nd shot where the fences overlap. Maybe drop the bricks a little more out of focus? She's also wearing a similar color to the bricks, so she doesn't stand out as much, either. The first shot, I think, is mainly hindered by her pose / expression.

I do like the lighting use in the first 2 shots. The reflection on the close hand rail in the 2nd shot looks pretty cool.


I'm still really new to "non-point-and-shoot" style of photography, so my observations may be way off the mark.
