Nice photo. I like the use of black and white. While I like the composition, I think in this celebration challenge I would have also liked to have seen the mother's smiling face as well. 6
first of all, i love the expression on the baby's face! i love lighting and the mother's hair, and how his little hand is grabbing her shoulder. my one improvement would be to emphasize the 'celebration' aspect of it, by somehow accentuating the mother's joy. maybe this could have been done by having the mother's head really lean into the infant's, or by using some kind of profile. still, very nicely done!
oh! the hair makes the baby look like he/she's sporting a beard!
i like the idea for this pic. i would be interested in seeing this picture with a different crop, or taken at an angle where the viewer could see some of the mother's face.
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.
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.
