Challenge: Tribute (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D

Michael Mowery's portraits always have a very warm tone to them.
I took this picture of my son in the bath tub with my wife and noticed after how warm the color tones were. I did not add much color to this - it's mostly from the warm light in our bathroom.

This is very cute, but it looks like you retouched the babies face. Babies usually have perfect skin and should not need to be retouched. I would have liked to see the original. If it has not been retouched then I wish I had skin like your baby. I photograph children and babies for a living and I think you did an excellent job with your framing and the facial expression.

Gorgeous and beautifully sharp. The 50 mm lens is great! What is the background??

(Oh ok, the wife is the background, silly me!)

Wow! Thanks for the votes everyone. My 4 month old son (Thomas) will appreciate to see this when he is older.

This is one beauty of an image with the loveliest tones I have ever seen. An outstanding effort and one deserving a ribbon. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

By far the best baby picture I have ever seen. Despite those little reflections I'm giving this a 10.

Very nice!

Such a sweet portrait and the placement of this baby against the mother's busom makes for the perfect setting ;) Such expressive eyes at such a young age. The skin is so pure and almost porcelain like. It's amazing looking at babies eyes because the whites in their young eyes are actually not white but with a tint of blue ;) Such innocence. Great job!

I couldn't find any Mowery shots on google, but this is a top notch portrait in its own right. Lighting, focus, composition all "spot on" as they say here on DPC. 9 only cuz I couldn't find the artist...
