LOVELY image! Love the light. Love the pose. Love the "extras" ... the jewelry hanging out of the jewelry box, the fan, the necklace, the lace. BEAUTIFUL model. Well done!

Wonderful expression and lighting. I like that he almost appears to be waving to me. :-)

Love the expression on the baby's face as daddy gives him a kiss. And even from the side, you can tell that daddy is smiling too. A lovely portrait.

I really love the expressions here. This one says to me "We're so proud of our son". Plus, you can see all three faces, which is hard to get in this kind of portrait. The lighting could be a little bit softer, but I like that the baby has more light than the parents. It puts emphasis on him. The picture is, after all, all about him, with the parents (even with such important expressions) paying a secondary role.

And unless they all have really red skin (some people do!) I think the red needs to be dialed back just a bit (if you adjust it towards yellow but a notch or two, I think it will look more natural).

Ah... this is really cute. I LOVE the expression! :-)

And technically, the b&w conversion is superb. Some could argue whether you should be looking into the frame or out of it. I think it looks fine just the way it is.

I like the overall pose ... but I think her face is just a little too "straight on" to the camera.
