I think I have saved these from "disaster" mode.
had the camera on f16 so backgrounds were in focus.
In the first one (see last picture) I blurred the background with Picmonkey Wrinkle free of all things! It wasn't quite to my liking ... so went into Photoscape and blurred it by hand, I've done this before and it always works. Whenever "Portrait Professional" and "Picmonkey" just don't "do it " for me ... Photoscape to the rescue!!

The second one - blurred background with Picmonkey Wrinkle free and worked on the face a bit to enhance the lighting.

 I really like this converted from the colour version.

 We had Kirsty tossing her hair in these photographs - for this one she bent forward - ruffled her hair then swept straight back up ...  this is the result.

Kirsty

Taken on March 18th when we all had a braai with the family at Noordhoek.

See those of Nicole below taken at the same time.

Nicole

Taken last Sunday at Patrick and Kirsty's house.

Nicole, very relaxed in front of the camera and a good model.

Baggins

Taken at 9.30 this morning ... Lulu Belle's brother Baggins came over this morning and had a few words with Lucy ... heard the noise they were making, grabbed my camera and got these photos. They were on the roof so used the Panasonic Lumix and zoomed.
Dig that DOF!!!!
SOOC ( straight out of camera) no cropping. Slight lightening with Picasa.

Nicole

This is with Portrait Professional - check below for original and different crop. Also photo of Stella ... in this one she really looks like Patrick.
