My shots lack something that I can't really put my finger on. That extra "oomph" or edge a truly professional photo has.

I think I will grab a friend to hold the reflector for me. Or my husband. My daughter will get that job in a few years, at 6, she isn't quite accurate enough with it.

I could have used fill flash but 1)I didn't want the horse to spook(possible) and 2) it tends to flatten the light. Probably my crappy technique really!

I took about 25 photos in a 5 min span. The horse was walking and dragging my daughter around. It was one of those work fast and get what you can. Usually I can get something halfway decent from a quick shoot with these two.
