Thanks would have loved f4 or better but even with flash the best i could get was f2.8 think its time for a sb 600 or 800 just another thing to talk the wife into... :lol:

I like the close crop on the image. Her hair and skin tones are good but focus falls off a little for her left eye. The expression on this cute little girl is not particularly flattering, primarily because she appears to be grimacing rather than smiling. It's not a bad picture but could be so much better with a different expression. It is definitely a keeper and one that she will look back on and laugh.

Thanks Gordon... wish i could have got a little more DOF. but thats all the light and my on camera flash would give me.. just happy to have gotten skin tones looking right.. been a long battle with that....next is the sb 600 or 800 so i can have more dof....

I would have liked to have seen her from the other side, since that was painted.
