Critique Welcomed First shot of Connie from RX100 Raw

[Hamish Gill]

Processed this from a raw file from the rx100 ...
This camera is awesome! I would go as far to say that the image quality is actually better than the fuji x100 you know ...

You know I cracked! It was £470 in Dixons in the Airport! The only places cheaper were the sort of places that I wouldn't want to send money to and most likely are selling grey imports with limited warranty.

 

[Hamish Gill]

haha... Brilliant! Welcome to the cool kids club
thats good money, paid £500 for mine I thought I had done very well!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Heresy I tell ya - run them out of town!

Nice pic though Hamish - lovely eyes your Connie has

 

[Beth Carter]

love the up close and personal look. she seems like such an easy going, laid back little girl.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Haha Beth ... Yeah... Those are traits of hers, but they are oft overtaken by "inquisitive" and "cheeky" ... Either way, she is a happy little munchkin! (apart from last night - she has a cold ... We didn't sleep much!)

I have no idea where the blue eyes come from I have brown eyes and Hannah is one of those wierdos with multi coloured eyes ... If she didn't look like me I might be more worried

 

[Pete Askew]

Looking good Hamish. Might have to download the release candidate, I don't think I can wait until October for the final version.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Bless her!
Cracking shot though. Image quality is brilliant!

a blue eyed kid from brown eyed parents is fine. but a brown eyed kid from two blue eyed parents has issues...

Genetics baffles me ...
We had a chance that Connie would have a a thing called "fragile x" it's some some of chromosomal disorder that comes through a girls fathers side which is rare for some reason. Aparently it only really effects boys too so she would have probably been ok anyway ... The waiting to find out if Hannah was a carrier (after she got pregnant) was the most intense lesson in genetics and equally some of the worst couple of weeks of my life ...
We got the all clear on my birthday ... I had a few drinks that night I can tell you!
Anyway, yeah, someone has explained to me how she can still have blue eyes ... In one ear out the other ... She is healthy and lovely and that's what matters

Beautiful picture Hamish .

Thanks Julian .. Having seen your portraits I guessed you might like this ...
I went for very natural toning ... That seems to be your bag?
