No really colorful backgrounds here! It is so cold, and we had more snow last night. Hence, all outdoor pictures will plain or white background, overcast, and rosy cheeked. :)

This is SOOC
What is your opinion? Should I have had a flash?
okay, I fixed the levels, and lightened up her face a bit. That better?

This is so sweet - both the picture and the story.
I vote no flash.
No, the flash would have washed it out too much. I like the soft texture of the whole photo. She looks like a sweetie and I love her little pet pillow.
Beautiful girl. No flash just a bit of editing.
No, the flash would have been harsh with the snow. The browns are awesome together. Beautiful!
thanks, everyone! I lightened it up a bit and posted that one also.
No flash needed! I think flashes add an unflattering light and hardly ever use it. I think the picture (and its edit) look awesome as is!
Kara, this shot is SO cute! I vote no flash too, I think you did an awesome job capturing even the first pic!! Great contrast against the white snow, which I know can be so hard...but you did it so well!!
The edit looks very nice. No flash for sure!
I agree. It is beautiful just the way it is!
Thanks for stopping by and giving the constructive criticism. I LOVE that in a gal! :)
Have a great day!!

The photo is gorgeous, I love the look on her face. If it was a pop up flash I would also say, no flash, but if you have and external flash, that you can adjust (rotate and pivot) then I would say don't be afraid to play with it outside, even in these conditions! You'd be amazed at the softness of light you can create with an external flash!
I love levels! Great job, if you have an external flash a little fill light would have done the job nicely but not a full on flash.
You reminded me that our pillow pet needed to go for a 'bath', he gets taken everywhere as well :)
Beautiful picture! I vote no flash too. I hardly ever use mine. But I don't have an external either. I think your edit looks very nice.
Following the crowd with no flash. haha It's beautiful picture and I love your edit!
I love her hair! Long and luscious :-)
fabulous shot, I never use a flash, great job editing
I like both. Pretty.
I'm glad you didn't use a flash, I like the first but agree correcting the levels brought her face out nicely.
Chicago is some place I've always wanted to visit - figuring once as a baby doesn't really count ;)
I'm gonna have to say I think a flash would have added some needed fill light. With that said I do not know ANYTHING about adjusting your meter for (any kind of) a flash. I just got a speedlite on Friday and messed with it a little yesterday. I think with it the possiblities are endless. It will just take some studying and practice.
