Wonderful shot just as it is, Robert. Some aspects that I like are the paper-thin space between the baby's head and mother's cheek, and also the implied line from baby's mouth to eye to mother's lips and face... really gives a feeling of depth, and evokes the sensation that I am sitting right there, and that for a brief instant I have caught Rosie's attention. You know better than I do of the few technical flaws that may exist, but who gives a rip. Captivating photo, and one that I am sure will be cherished.

This is a great picture! The only change I would make is to bump up the exposure a bit.

Very pretty. The pastels of a sunrise / sunset. Well composed.

What a gorgeous baby! I feel she looks a little too dark? Yes, wait until daylight to evaluate it again.

I love this pic! Of course I love all images that tell a story and this one does just that. I don't know if I would do anything to it but I would see how it looked with the contrast lowered just a bit... hard to say. I never know how I'll like something before it's in front of me. adorable baby too :0)

... I like the crop!!!! wait- take out mommy's hand at lower left, then crop is perfect! Her expression is a great part of the image too!

Pretty shot and great color capture of the sky and reflections. For me, I would have like to have seen the point of view either higher or lower so that the horizon wasn't dead center.

Excellent composition & dramatic colors. There is too much Gaussian blur (or equivenent) in my IMHO. It is strong enough image to stand on its own without special effects. Great work otherwise.
