I like this idea, but I think it would be more effective with a backround color that was more of a contrast.

FERULE : A rod or stick used for punishing children.
FERRULE: A metal ring or cap strengthening the end of a stick or tube.

Which one were you refering to?? LMAO. Guess it could be either one. We got a really good laugh out of this, seeing as that my mom is a teacher. Pencils do in a way punish children, and this is definately a metal ring or cap.
No pun intended. Or was it?? Great photo. A bit dark, but probably nessasary to keep from having a really distracting bright spot. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

I was very disappointed to see that your baby picture actually scored worse than a number of others. I guess it just goes to show that we all view things differently.

Definately very new. It does't get much newer than this. I like how the baby is still all puffy. lol. I'm really glad you submitted this in color. The close up is great. I was thinking I might have wanted to see a wider shot to see more of the baby's face, but then thought that the close up showed his newness very well. The photo was thought out, and creativly taken. It's not just a picture of a baby. Great shot and good luck with the challenge.
