Very nice detail and a well chosen angle. The DOF is working very good, drawing the viewers attention to the eye. I think the background behind the baby's hand is disturbing though. Nevertheless congratulations with both the photo and the baby :)

Comment by jsabbarton:
This is almost a perfect shot. You have captured the real essence of new innocence, wonder and beauty in the image. The DOF has been used to great effect, the lighting is perfect and the feelings of serenity and contentment flood from the picture. But, and it's only a small but, the background is just not far enough out of focus to stop the eye being drawn away from all that foreground beautyâ€Â¦ This is only a personal opinion; good luck (8)â€Â¦

This is a great image. I would have prefered the DOF going from the eye to the nose and mouth. Those are the interesting parts of your subject, they should be in focus.

I like how you eliminated all the unecessary detailsby shooting only the face. However, in my very own humble opinion, i think this would have been more powerful as a black and white photo. It would tend to soften the photo.
