It's not hard to take pictures of a cutie like this, she didn't take a bad picture.  I think the black and white one is the most glamorous of the day.  We are at the same location as Christina, and while I had that pretty picture in my head, I believe it's all new.  A little on posing:  how she sat down up against the walkway was totally up to her.  I try not to dictate a very specific pose, rather stand here or sit here, and then i try to move around for the different appealing angles.  I did the black and white conversion in PS Lightroom.   In the picture of her sitting down, I had to brighten it up  a little with levels because she was sitting in the shade and my camera did not read the scene as such, (and i depend on the camera being smart)  I boosted the color saturation and contrast, and added a little vignette ----viola -that picture.  OK, that sounded like way more work than what if felt like.  I suppose because I run through it all very quickly it doesn't take long at all. Now this last one is straight out of the camera beautiful - did I mention I love my new lens?    I did choose to crop it a bit,  I had too much space above her head.  I would have liked for the horizon to not be cutting her face in half, but I can live with that.  I think the blues are what make this picture beautiful, (and maybe it was Megan)  The camera was set at 400 ISO, really it should have been on 100 or 200 but i got away with it, I used my f/2.8 70-200 lens, set to aperture priority.
