I thought I'd get the ball rolling by uploading a picture I took at my niece's fifth birthday party.

I'd love to hear what you all think of it.

Go on, don't be shy, I can take a bit of stick.

 

Not bad, not bad, for an

Not bad, not bad, for an old newspaper hack like yourself.

I bet she's going to love this picture when she turns eighteen, not.

I like the low saturation, but the background is a little distracting.






Agreed

Agree with Zorba, the background is a bit distracting, but overall, the shot works, and the puffed-up cheeks really adds a lot of charm to it.






Same here

I like, but I would like it more with the candles starting to go off.

Background

I'm sorry to say that i agree with the others that the background is pretty distracting! I think its mostly the colourful sleeve against the soft delicate tones of the clothes of your neice. I think it would have been better if you had taken the photo so you could see the cake and all the candles. I still like it the way it is though! She looks very cute!






Serves me right

She did indeed.

Oh, she had a blast for about half an hour and then started to cry. Think all the excitement exhausted her.
