I would prefer if the baby was looking at the camera. also I am not a fan of how they appear to be floating. very nice setup for a baby portrait though.

I wish the baby's features were crisper but I love the simplicity. The black background is perfect.

Although I usually crave clarity this one hits the mark where softness is more appropriate. Just lovely-10

Something draws the eye to the dirty white pattern. The red brick really sets it off. Nice

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Wow! You sure this is your first time? Not bad, not bad at all, well done!

I like the colors, very nice, a touch, just a teeeny, tiny touch of contrast might bring them out just a bit more. The composition and crop leave me wanting though. There is a large amount of negative space that doesn't compliment the fireworks. Negative space can be your friend but in this instance, to me personally, the space left of the right side of the fireworks is too much. If you were to crop that out, using the rule of thirds, placing the firworks on the right third or even cropping off on the left, centering the firworks more, this would, to me, compliment the shot much better. The lights on the bottom are also a bit distracting, they are there, fuzzy but don't add anything to the shot for me. I would have cropped them out completely.

If you play with this some on the cropping, I would love to see the results. Also, I would sharpen it just a bit, to really bring out the edges on the fireworks, not a lot, just a tiny touch.

But again, for a first time effort, this is a wonderful shot. I wish I could shoot fireworks this well, LOL :)

Looking at your other work, you are going to be a force to reckon with here on DPC! Well done!

Hope my comments help and Good Luck in Future Challenges.

Nice texture and color contrasts.
I may have chose not to show so much of the lighter pathway at the bottom of capture though. It almost turns my eye away from the photo, showing me so much. Not sure if that makes sense, but its only in my opinion.
I still like the colors and textures.

The angle gives it a very nice dof as well.
