Comment by posthumous:
this is a great example of what a daring composition (they are talking about "open composition" in the impressionism thread. this is a great example) and a daring use of light can achieve. By seeing the source of the light, and seeing it unflinchingly as it hits their forms, this photo has an immediacy that it would otherwise be lacking. Tremendous. 10

Comment by Amason:
Very beautiful emotive image, maybe not technically great but it is the motive that counts here! The corner of the window helps. I would place this image in top 10 but I'm afraid that the dpc mass doesn't agree with me.

What a sweet expression on the baby! I love that the baby is the focal point. I would have like it more without the edge of the window in the picture. :)

Comment by jeger:
Nice idea with the window sill. The baby could be a little sharper overall.

Comment by srdanz:
Priceless photo. I'm not sure how it will go in this challenge, but a 10+ from me for positive vibes that beam from this photo.

Came back for another comment: at least clone out that window in top-left and frame it!

Nice shot - Like the tones - and love the bond - Very relaxed and natural looking - I tried cropping out the window and I think it helps just a bit but I still like it in. Very nice and I don't mind the softness due to the subject.

A tighter crop to remove the window would have helped. Great looking child.
