I took this picture at my parents house. My daughter, Sydney, had just turned 4 weeks old. It was one of those moments where you tell yourself, "If I don't take a picture of this, I'm going to regret it forever." I added some Gaussian blur to make make the picture even softer. I think a baby's skin exudes "touch." I really like how the picture turned out. It has a "silky" feel to it.

I just had to tell you this is a beautiful photo. The tones, lighting, everything just comes together and it's just a stunning image. It should've scored higher in my opinion.
A beautiful baby! The lighting is very nice here. I think a tighter crop would make this better. Either a vertical crop or, at least, cutting off the plant on the right side.
Something that adorable how could you not want to reach out and hold her? I know there is no sense of touch in this photo but there defiantly is the emotional touch. Great job.
Wonderful muted light in this. I think a bit of cropping from the right side might have made it even better. The colors and the softness of the child's dress and the child herself really make this charming.
