The front loses a little detail in the shadows, but nice shot!

Nicely composed, but you don't have enough contrasts to make the two tone treatment work well. You lose too much detail in the two subjects. I love the look on the childs face. Priceless! Nice almost there shot!

The sephia does give the shot a moody feeling. Highlights in the water gives it some interest.

Comment by Imagineer:
Everything is a bit indistinct in this which is amplified by the sepia effect. The motion would need to be absolutely frozen for this to work, and there's not enough light to allow that to happen. The subject lacks a definite focal point and the point of view is quite ordinary (eye-level).

Unfortunately, we have ceiling fan in that room that showed up in the mirror. Not the best cover-up, I know. If I were to redo this shot I'd fix the slight tilt and do the mirror differently somehow.

Thanks for the wonderful comments. I have a feeling this will be one of our families favorite shots for many many years to come. :)

I love this shot. It really tells a story. I just love his little PJ's. What happen to the picture or mirror?

Comment by nborton:
very nice subject placement. one small suggesting i have is that the pole in the background with all the small white circles is slightly distracting to the subject.

Wonderful tones, tells a story, candid yet classic. A truly magical moment.
