This is a fantastic mother and baby portrait, you can almost sense the bond between you, very natural and the light in the window sets the scene well. Its rare not to need to see the eyes to feel emotion and I take it this is on your wall already? (bumped2)

Lovely, honest and certainly very pleasing to look at. The gratifying smile is at once contagious and the framing is soothing. Bumping up.

A very captivating photograph. The look in your face and that beautiful child caused a flood of ever so fond memories to cascade in my mind ... thank you ever so much for sharing.

This is a keeper.... a nine from me.

I love the crop on this one. In the thumbnail, it just looks like a girl without a shirt. Viewed at full size and seeing the baby in the lower right corner explains your wonderful smile, and makes the image magical in a way. I have three boys, and I had considered doing a group shot of them as my 'indirect' self portrait. It was my first and favorite idea, but I didn't think it would go over well with the voters. I'm glad to see someone included their child in their shot. That sort of makes it a Self Portrait and a Half. Congrats on a wonderful image.

Bold and beautiful. A tighter crop from top, and a more uniform background would lead the eye to the subject even better. And that seems like a beautiful baby hidden there!
