Because how can you say no to those cheeks?!

Like I said, the first rule of photo club is to always use adorable subjects. (photo by Felix R. Fimbres)
   So if you've been following along you've probably already noticed a few things. First off we have one subject filling three points of interest. That's Good. Secondly we have a eyes which could be closed or looking down, but I feel the effect is that she's looking down at another point of interest not off the frame. Also Good.

   What's not so good? Well to be honest the lighting isn't so good. This little girl wasn't terrible enthusiastic about this wall, so it was a bit of a struggle to get her lit correctly. But hey, she's absolutely adorable so I'm pretty sure everyone can forgive that.
   With the way Photoshop is nowadays we could have lit her perfectly in post, but me, I don't like doing things in post.
   You could argue that the first point of interest (the top left at least to anyone who reads from right to left) is filled with bricks, which create lines leading directly to her face. This is also good. Lines are everywhere and are great ways to bring the viewers eyes to where you want them.

   Also, even though the lighting isn't optimal, I did use a reflector in this, and to be honest while the lighting isn't perfect this little girl liked it better to being flashed, which is always a good thing for little eyes.
