Man I wish I knew how to make the sky look blue! I've tried to do it in photoshop with gradient (that's what someone told me) but it totally looks like I spray painted it, not natural looking at all. I hate the white sky! Any tips on how to do this?
The sun was just full bore even at 6:00 p.m. I should have waited another 1/2 hour or so.

Well, with the first two - I think the crop would work with a closer crop on the left side. Because the left side just looks off center.. maybe? The chari in the grass is a cute idea. I think I would love it more if her feet weren't cut off and the whole chari was in the picture. But I really like the angle. She is a very cute girl and the lollipop is such a fun idea - I really want to pick up a couple for the kids ;) As far as the sky, I don't know, but I think you can get a cloud brush, you could maybe also put another picture in with a sky you like and erase out the white? Love the colors on the pictures :)
Adorable! I need to get a lolli for my DS now. I really like #3. Not sure about the sky except maybe take two pics of the shot, one of the blue sky and one of her and use that blue in the pic? Bryan Peterson says to meter off the blue sky, maybe that would help? I don't know! I have the same problem when the sun is behind the subject. Cute shots though!
Aren't lollipop pictures fun? I did last years Christmas cards w/these, you should have seen what I went through to get the perfect ones! I don't know if I care for that close of crop for some reason? I like the chair idea ~ love the angle.
Thanks for the opinions & the help! I really appreciate it. I've heard of taking 2 photos and combining them but I have no idea how to do that. I have a few where the sky is sort of blue but don't really like the picture itself.
I tried this for you. I used Nik color efex's graduated blue.

Maybe that will work now!
Jodi that link worked - how did you add the blue?
I used a plugin for photoshop called Nik Color Efex. It's pricey though. You can also find a picture with another blue that you like, use the eyedropper to get the color, and then paint it in with a soft brush on a seperate layer so you could lower the opacity until you get it natural looking. HTH!
Thanks Jodi I'll try the painting in with another photo. I might actually understand what you are talking about LOL!
