Vacation Portrait
Today's post is a quick impromptu portrait of my daughter Emma. We took this under a bridge on the San Antonio River Walk near the Hyatt last weekend.

It's a very nice photo. She pops right out.
I assume you did a fair amount of Photoshop on the skin? For a portrait it look a bit to clean, almost unnatural.
What a beautiful girl in a beautiful setting. MIL
Really nice job on the exposure Barry. Her eyes draw you in to the picture.

Thanks Jan, MIL and Doug!
Jan - I applied the "Simplify" preset on the Topaz Adjust plugin to the skin to smooth out blemishes. Looking back at the original file I see that I may have pushed it a little to far (75% opacity on the "Simplify" layer would probably have been better). Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers!

Very nice portrait. I like the lighting on Emma and the background. I do wish that she was facing into the frame and the fountain rather than facing out. Really good job.
Thanks Patrick!
I agree that it would have been an improvement in the composition to have had Emma face the other direction. I can't remember the location well enough to know if it would have been an improvement in the light or not though. I prefer to think I took advantage of the best light rather than thinking I screwed up the composition! :-)
Cheers!
