Thankyou everyone for your wonderful comments. My first top 20!! I really do appreciate everyone taking the time to comment on it. This is a Birthday gift for the grandfather in the photo, so I hope he really likes it too!
This image makes me smile and look forward to being a grandmother one day (yikes, did I really say that?). It is one of the most loving shots I've seen in a long time. Really like the b&w, as well as where each of your eyes are looking: You gazing at her little, sweet face while she's gazing into the camera. Great job!
A timeless treasure of a photo. For me, I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the baby as it looks a bit cut off near the head, but nicely composed and I like the black and white treatment.
Why make it private? Shout it out to the entire world :) Congratulations. Babies are God's angels sent down to earth to make us all feel good and happy :D
the expression on the grandfather's face says it all; think this would have done equally well in the 'Pride' challenge. i quite like everything about this phot except for the border. well done!
What a wonder photograph. The composition is absolutely perfect IMO and the photograph is balance very well. The black and white sets a mood fitting for this photograph. The expressions on the face of the grandfather is authentic and priceless. The eye contact with the child is smoothing.
I have not had a photograph to hit me so sudden as this one in a long time. I hope you have it saved for framing. Your family room would not be complete without it.
LOVE it! i love that you captured the granddaughter looking into the camera, and grandpa looking so lovingly at her. great composition, nice b&w tones, nice use of negative space. this image just warms my heart and makes me happy. hope you finish really high.
