I bet if I was more musical this would mean more to me. I like the large tree. I think it would have done better to vignette stronger on the left of the picture and kept the tree more lit.

Comment by Teafran:
An excellant portrait that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.

Nice rich brown tones. Any tips for achieving that?

Great shot! Interesting to see someone who looks so "tough" holding something so tender. Center composition and 3/4 lenght work well. This would make a great series if you added some close ups of the baby's face with tattoos visible and maybe the two faces close to each other. Of course I know this contest isn't about a series of photos... just offering suggestions.
