Timing and overall capture is very nice. A little over saturated.

There's so much processing here that I found it difficult to make out the birds.

This is absolutely stunning.

And, while others find the bra strap distracting - I like it. It's a nursing bra, which tells me she's nursing her child.

This is a nice composition, a beautiful baby, a loving expression on the mother, and very nice duotone. Unfortunately I find the bra strap distracting and a bit of a turnoff. I wish you could have gotten the shot without the bra (with just the baby covering the breast, or with the blanket draped up on the mother's shoulder.

This seems really underrated to me. I'm having trouble figuring out why this didn't score higher - maybe not quite enough contrast on the faces (a bit of dodging / burning or soft light layering might have brought them out a little more). Still, the interaction between the mother and child is lovely, and the DOF is perfect. I think you got robbed!

I very much like this. The composition is perfect in my opinion, and as I said, very much shows the joy and wonder of a new mother. I think this would also be lovely in straight black and white. Hopefully you can get a copy to her!
