Michele and Linda,
I really appreciate your tips and your honesty. It was exactly what I had hoped for. I'm not upset in the least, Linda, in fact delighted. You could have said "nice photo, shame about the painting"!
I took a quick look at that website and will revisit it again. I'll also have to go into the forum archives on this whole photography topic - it seems to be much more complicated than I had thought (hoped!). I've art directed dozens of photo shoots of children over the years and have found it to be a challenge. Some kids are naturals and some have about 10 good minutes in them. My stock response to all the anxious frowns around me is a muttered "I'll just Photoshop it out".
I'm actually going to post a photo I am thinking about painting from for critique. I'd be most grateful if you ladies (and John, too) would be able to spare a moment or two to take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks again, Janet
