I am cheating on this one.... I took this a month ago, but just finally proofed this set of pictures today. Here is DD laying in a pool of balls at West Edmonton Mall, in the kids play area. Our kids love coming to this place, it is so cool, and we always have so much fun! Love the static in her hair. I would love to learn how to do actions, because I'd like to see this with a color pop. I'm not fond of her hand at the bottom, but wasn't sure what to do to fix it. I can tell already that I need to work on creative crops! Thx for looking, and here are my settings: Can't remember if this was shot in manual, but I think so? Iso 800 (probably too high right?) SS 1/40... ran through noisewear, and sharpened..that's about it! CC always, ALWAYS welcome!! :)

I think the colors are gorgeous!
The shot is beautiful. My son loves those ball pits as well. You may want to just crop it a bit to remove the hand that is bugging you - keeping her lovely face in the upper right corner (does that make sense...)
beautiful crisp colors. great job>
Nice! I would love to see this cropped closer on her face so that her face fills up 2/3 of the shot and the balls fill in around it. But I love close-ups. :)
I really think you have a nice picture here. Would really look great with a color pop, but I can't give advice on actions since I can't use them with my PSE4. If you want advice on creative cropping, I guess this would be mine (but this is just ME and I'm not a pro by any means!) I always try to get a unique in-camera crop. Even if it feels crazy at the time, it's a lot easier for me to do it that way that to crop it in PS later. Just try holding your camera at all different angles -- up closer, farther away, tilted a little or a lot -- then look at what you've got. You might be surprised! It took me a long time to get courageous enough to stop holding the camera perfectly vertical or horizontal, but now that I've done it, it's so much fun to see the pics when they're done! Keep up the great work!!
You've got some great suggestions on what to try already, but you could also try a vertical crop also, I don't know if there is enough room or not though.
Okay, I am going to try and crop both the moose and this one, and repost them :)
Love the capture! I would play around w/color pop and crop a bit tighter.

Actually the ss is on the slow side so no, if you can go higher on the iso do that. A higher iso/more noise is preferable to a blurry image....unless you are intentionally doing the "blurring."
I like the close crop of your daughter in the balls. Great colors! I think the other ball picture is too distracting with all the colors. There's no distractions on the close-up.
What a beautiful shot! The colors are so vibrant and the model is just darling!
