this is a very loving,mother and child portrait but i would have had her move her hair away from the baby...the baby looks like its eatting her hair! the lighting,focus and processing are perfect. good luck :o) ~~Cher~~

It is those big, bright wide open eyes that capture our attention in this photo. Lighting is wonderful and complementary to the subjects. My only critique on this one is that you could have very easily zoomed/cropped it closer such that just the mother's head and the child's head with the arm clutched on the shoulder fills the frame.

I think it would have been better if this were taken from an angle so that some of mom's face was included.

Great expression on the child! I'd like to see more of the mother's face though to show more of the relationship between the two. As shot though, the highlights on the baby draw my attention, so it isn't really a big issue not showing the mother's face.

I wish I could give this shot more than a 10. It is such perfection...one of my favorites. Thanks.

stunning image. you really should revisit the post-processing on this to render it the way your want it to be, and put that into your portfolio. it's a killer shot, and it's a shame to only see it limited to dpc-basic editing rules. keep this up--you're well on your way to ribboning!
