Cute kid. I feel the face is a little over-exposed (perhaps soften the flash), and the background is distracting (would have done well to move the duvet).

Personally I think what Anne Geddes does to children is a form of child-crultey (especially when they get older), so thanks for at least not potting the kid like soem flower.

the background is too busy.
cropping tighter into the child would help eliminate some of that.

Sorry, but this isn't "Anne Geddes"; it's a snapshot photograph of a baby. It's nice (very nice) for a photo album, but it's just not an "artful shot." Better luck next time.

Needs a cute little costume or something to be more of a tribute to Geddes.

Geddes focuses more on putting very young children in rather unnatural settings, like dressed as a leaf or an insect, or in a strangish container, like a can or a cabbage leaf. This is a nice snapshot of a young child, but not particularly representative of Geddes.

Oh how I wish I could vote higher for this. Such an adorable model but this is not true Anne Geddes style. A for effort !

Sorry, too much grain, harsh flash, does not look like any photo of Anne Geddes.

Sweet baby. I love the natural look. The flash is a bit harsh.

This to me looks more like a snap shot. I've looked at a few anne geddes baby shots and they are very carefully setup with very nice soft lighting. This is a cute baby, but I think that more time with setting up the pose (difficult with a baby I know!) and lighting would get better result.

Not really Anne Geddes...

This looks nothing like a Geddes. Hers were tack sharp and she had a use of props to make her babies look like peas, flowers, etc. The colors were rich and vibrant and they are normally done in a studio setting. Usually she uses newborns as well. Sorry, this just looks like a snapshot of a cute baby.

i don'twant to be harch or have this come across as a put down, so i will comment lightly for now and if u would like a more fully difined comment PM me and i will add all my thoughts, but for now.

this needs alot of refinement before it can be concedered a Anne Geedes copy in any real way. her images are not just a cute baby, they also have some basic photographic points which this image is missing in gross amounts.

keep at it and someday maybe u will be able to really fool us all, but with this image u need to study much more before u get there.
