I'm not sure if it is a bit soft or if there is just not enough contrast, but something seems to be missing in this shot. Maybe messing with curves a bit will make the image more striking. I think a wide angle shot of a baby sleeping where the whole crib is visible may be an interesting shot to try with the proper lighting. I think it might give more of a sense of how small he/she is, rather than just placing a doll next to him/her. I don't have any access to babies, so I can't try this myself, just something to think about...5

The beautiful light through the window added to the oh so precious softness just makes this perfect, imo. Wonderful composition as well. And uh, nice 'gator! (absolutely beautiful!)

this is a cute picture, maybe emphasizing the child's environment could have helped a little. Good work

The lighting and colors are exquisite. (I believe that's the first time I've felt compelled to use "exquisite" in a comment.) An eight for you.

I like the contrived, artful arrangement.

Very nicely composed, but it looks like you have decreased the contrast too much, and the shadows look grey and muddy. IMO it needs a levels adjustment to give it a true black point, and then desaturate the reds a little to get rid of that colour cast on the skin. Cute baby!

very nice and soft but a tiny bit too posed with the bottle, I'd've just left in the stuffie. 7

So sweet. The coloring on the left side makes that hand seem almost like a plastic doll's hand. That is the only negative thing I see.
