Not even 8 yet and already got the moody teenager looks down to a tee.

Fun set

I like the processing you've done with them. The second shot reminds me of Grange Hill from the 80s

I'm having a hard time choosing a favourite. Each one is good in a different way. I like the last one, but her right eye is lost in the shadow, so I think I'm leaning towards 3 as it's more centred. The 2nd I prefer but the fact it's slightly off centre is putting me off a bit.

Still, if I'd taken them I'd be really pleased and probably frame them in a large multi image layout

On my monitor, she's a bit blue. Kids should be warm and full of life, not suffering from pneumonia.

My favourite capture is the fourth picture down, it just seems the most natural. Let's see what a more orange set looks like

Just out of interest why?

Btw I'm not taking any offence at criticism, just asking as I've seen similar comments previously in regards to kids pics (not just mine). It seems with adults all different kinds of processing can be applied without issue but when it comes to children some people are of the opinion it should be a close to nature as possible and I just wondered why that was.

I just find it sort of depressing when people aren't doing it for their edgy fashion shoots. I understand why they might do it. They're trying to invoke some sort of reaction.

I sort of see this like when people used to do selective colouring. When the person is in black and white and the rose is red, it just feels really uncomfortable to me.
