Day 40 - Magenta #2

Comment by colorcarnival:
I like the other one better because of the green background and the centered composition. The gray background doesn't do much for me here I think because of the superbright color of the flower. I know in most cases you want that kind of contrast but for selective desat, I prefer richer colors against the duller background.

I am sure that makes no sense whatsoever and I'll probably be the only one who thinks this way lol.

Sweet sweet photo. They will love to look at this photo as they grow older. It's wonderful to see the nurturing side of Caleb come out for his new brother.

I say good for her! She probably needs something bright and peppy like this. Love the design on the nails! (She would probably appreciate that comment more than you lol)

Day 29 - The Grain Seller

Comment by colorcarnival:
Great contrast with his dark skin and the lightness of the sacks. He actually looks like a pretty happy guy. I'm weird tho because the first thing that really jumped out at me is the sharpness of the rice. The texture really just leaps out of the photo.

Another good photo to help you remember this important time. I love those bathtime looks. I bet he is even bigger now since you posted this.

It's amazing how tiny their fingers are in the beginning. And this is something we quickly forget. Beautiful photo to capture this moment in time.
