One of the best baby portraits I've seen. Enjoy the contrast of smooth skin with textured leaves, and the balance of reds/oranges/yellows with skin tones. Cute expression too.

Comment by K3Master:
He lay there, and scratched his ear, and pondered for awhile. He did not really know, yet, that life could be cruel and unfair. He did not know yet, that his remarkable birth among the forest peoples would be talked about for generations to come. He did not know yet that for all the love and attention that was given to him as he grew, that he would one day discover a most unfortunate reality.

He did not know yet, that most human males would be very much different from him, that a curse of being forest born would haunt him for all his adult days.

He did not know.

Yet.

You know what the voters like. I expect to see this in the Top 10 or 20. Nicely done.

Clearly a newborn! The leaves make a great background and the modesty leaf is a great touch.
