This is a great idea for a triptych. I love the b/w for this. As was pointed out in an earlier comment - branch-body-branch - a creative composition! The middle picture just does not have the smae impact. I thinnk if you had shot a close up of the belly with the neval off-centered it may have given more of an impact. Either way it is priceless.
i have to say, the middle image is not as strong as the end ones. hand, foot, arm/belly? i'd like to see the middle image be of a single element like the other two...just the elbow, or just the belly, or the bottom, or a dimple and corner of a smile...(in my opinion, of course!)
that said, the hand and foot shots are wonderful, with their softness and dof. very nicely done.
Oooh! What a beautiful triptych! Ditto what Ennil said. Also, you might want to consider doing a sepia/quadtone, too. I bet that would look beautiful, as well. Very nice work, Jason.
I love this, it's so incredibly beautiful. Another one of the magnificent treasures here that I would love to have on my wall. The B&W is a perfect choice for the tryptich. I love the shallow DOF that lets us concentrate on the beautiful details of the baby. Also the arranged is great: branch-body-brach. Well since the image is quite small I really can't say anything about it except that this is fabulous photography.
