My lovely daughter, three pics.

[crim son]

One of my daughter's friends is interested in the theater and works with makeup and costumes. She's also a budding photographer. Anyhow, painted and dressed my little girl and took these three pics. Now Kira says she want to model to earn money for college. I'm thinking, maybe... In any event, I thinks she's beautiful and so here she is:

[Shell Beau]

1. She's beautiful!

[crim son]

10. Thank you Shell Beau.

Mothers tend to be prejudiced in favor of their children! :hi:

[AlCzervik]

2. She is really beautiful! Wonderful bone structure and lovely eyes.

[crim son]

11. Thanks a lot.

She's also a very good girl and an honor student. I'm lucky!!

[AlCzervik]

17. good for her, brains and beauty.

[RevolutionaryActs]

[sasquatch]

:spank:

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. BWHAHA

:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

4. She's Gorgeous

as is her mother!

:loveya:

[crim son]

5. She's so much more gorgeous than her mother ever was!

She has her daddy's good bone structure. Thanks!

[SPKrazy]

6. Well...

I think her mother is gorgeous, but daughter is like a model... very pretty

but mama! ;)

[GenDem]

8. Just beautiful.

I love the first one with the back lighting.

[crim son]

13. It's a bit blurry which I didn't notice when downloading it.

I won't bore people with any more, but there are a couple artsy shots where the skill of the photographer is in better evidence!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. As beautiful as her mother.

:hi:

[crim son]

14. Oh Bwah.

:hi:

[driver8]

12. Your daughter is absolutely stunning! n/t

[crim son]

15. Thank you!

She looks like herself, and to me anyway, she is stunning. :)

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. I love the third picture. She's beautiful.

[crim son]

21. That's my favorite too.

I call it "Goobie in Crim Son". :P

[Radio_Lady]

22. Very pretty. I'd like to see her with a very subtle flash on the first two photos.

The young photographer needs to know that the window light caused the subject to be somewhat underexposed.

[crim son]

25. Quite true.

It strikes me as a basic error, so I'm not sure it is one. More like a bad experiment. :)

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. Backlighting is tricky. It can be done very effectively but it takes...

practice to get the feel for it.

[Radio_Lady]

48. Absolutely right. She is quite a beautiful subject! Like a gorgeous RED ROSE!

[Guava Jelly]

18. She is stunning!

I like #3 the best
That would make a beautiful painting.
:hi:

[crim son]

20. Exactly.

Forget about Kira: the lighting, the drapery... it's classic. :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

23. She looks like her Ma.

You did good work! :hug:

[Guava Jelly]

28. I did a quick photoshop

[crim son]

29. Wow!

That is beautiful. I want that, over my fireplace! :loveya: Thank you, GoPsUx! :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

30. Any time

Having a real painting would be bettr
Well I'm off to bed.
Have fun tonight crimmy :hug:

[crim son]

31. Sleep tight!

I'm only up for the next hour or so, then I'm to bed too. :hug:

[Generic Brad]

24. She could be a model if she chose

Very lovely, indeed.

[crim son]

35. Thank you Generic Brad.

She doesn't want to do it for a profession - she wants to be a psychiatrist. But it would be a good way to earn money for school, maybe.

[mainegreen]

27. She's pretty, much like her mom.

Plus the choice of dress, lighting plus a good photographer made those photos truly wonderful.
:thumbsup: :hi:

[crim son]

36. That's dear of you

but she beats her old mom hands down. I do love the dress on her! :hi:

[wildhorses]

32. the third picture is exceptional--perfect!!

like a porcelain doll she looks:loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

33. Wow beautiful!

She is stunning crim son.

:loveya:

[crim son]

37. I think so!

Hi BNL. You'd like her... for a kid, she's an awful lot like we are. Insane, intelligently insane. :loveya: :hug:

[Redstone]

34. Absolutely stunning, and truly elegant. Especially in that third picture.

Redstone

[crim son]

38. Thank you Redstone!

I think the third one is supposed to look classic. The other two... not so much. She was wearing a mountain of makeup for the second photo. :hi:

[Redstone]

39. Hey, her Mom ain't too hard on the eyes, either. (Just so you know.)

Redstone

[crim son]

40. You are always too kind.

Sort of a bullshitter, too. :P :hug:

[Redstone]

45. Bullshit. I am not a bullshitter. I only tell the truth. Get used to that concept.

Redstone

[crim son]

46. I like to raise your ire

and, let's face it, I like your compliments. :7

[Redstone]

50. That works for me. I told Mrs R tonight about the long, tough road you've been

traveling, and she said I should tell you to hang in there. She's not had an easy life herself, so she knows. And she knows that it CAN get better.

As it will for you.

Redstone

[crim son]

51. A thanks to you and to Mrs. Redstone.

I've read a bit about her, through your posts, and she has my admiration. So do you!

[RFKHumphreyObama]

41. She looks absolutely stunning and she clearly knows how to pose

:thumbsup:

[crim son]

43. Ever since she was a tiny girl she loved to pose.

It used to crack me up!

[MsKandice01]

42. She's absolutely stunning!

You should get a large print of that third picture and frame it. It's classic.

[crim son]

44. I agree.

GoPsUx did a photoshop later in the thread and made it look like a painting. The quality of the third photo is more the photographer/costumer than Kira, but Kira's face helps :)

[Left Is Write]

47. You have raised a stunning young lady.

[crim son]

52. In all modesty, I have raised an intelligent,

thoughtful, liberal daughter who is the love of my life. Her being stunning is an accident of fate and I'm happy for her. Also a bit sad for her, but we all are, for our daughters.

[leftofthedial]

49. she is beautiful

but then her mother was a goddess

[crim son]

53. You just made me laugh out loud.

There are dear & unnecessary nods to the mother in this thread, but yours is a standout. Thank you, leftofthedial! from both Kira and Lisa. :hug:
