A mother's Perspective

Oh, but the top of a newborn's head is such a sweet spot!...Perhaps the shot would be improved by a slightly different perspective to include a glimpse of the baby's face, but nonetheless, this image captures a real sense of tenderness. The cradling of the head by the little hands is precious and your DOF provides a nice softness that enhances the tender moment.

Really nice portrait...Great focus on the eyes, and the angle is quite flattering.

I like this a lot!...the colors, the tilting angles, the cat that's there, but not completely. Maybe a bit of burning would deepen the image and make it pop even more, but as it is it's just great. Very nice capture!

What I love about this is that in rendering the image in such an abstracted way, you've invited us to elicit our own varied sentiments. This makes me think about how we all carry around with us memories of moments spent which are special, yet perhaps no longer vivid - just hazy little souvenirs that become part of the fabric of who we are. I find it to be emotive in a nostalgic, melancholy sort of way.

I'm so impressed with how you always seem to get the light just right. What is essential is perfectly illuminated, and the rest is perfectly obscured. Very emotive. Adding to favorites.

Beautiful tones and perfect depth of field to enhance the sense of sadness...as if tears were clouding one's view.

This really captures something of the majesty of the earth that we live on. Beautiful convergence of sand, sea and sky.

Beautiful! The grain adds so much to the mood of this image.
