Angry Baby

[woeilee]

Hi all,

I took this photo last Sunday when my niece visited us in the afternoon. She got angry pretty easily and will start crying like mad.
This is a shoot taken right before she got into her temper.
Edited to added blur and vignetting to create a I-am-really-angry and let-me-be-alone kind of feeling.

This photo was taken with:
Canon 40D w EF 50mm II
Aperture: f/1.8
Exposure: 1/30s
ISO: 400



C&C most welcome.

1- I would prefer a tighter crop to show more of his facial expressions.
2- Why blur? I thought I saw the tears in his eyes... would be great if I could see them clearly.

Thanks cheguthamrin.
The blur is added around the face so as to create a "leading-in" effect towards the frown.

Heheh cute baby... I would remove the blur and give a tighter crop instead, cause the blur doesnt look natural.. Even without the blur, the frown is already eye-catching

I dont know if the others would agree with me but I would prefer the picture to be more of a warmer tone. It somehow suits babies better because of their light skin tone. Maybe you might wana post process it in PS... Also, the baby seems upset, not angry. Just my 2 cents.

yes i agree with the warmer tone... i think will look nicer

I prefer more crop, centralize baby "red" nose. Perhaps tweaking a little to baby right side face will help to enhance frown on right eye brown. But keep the red nose center. HHhaha

Good idea to process in with a warmer tone. Thanks lordpain.
