		| | This is very cute, but it looks like you retouched the babies face.  Babies usually have perfect skin and should not need to be retouched.  I would have liked to see the original.  If it has not been retouched then I wish I had skin like your baby.  I photograph children and babies for a living and I think you did an excellent job with your framing and the facial expression. |

		| | Gorgeous and beautifully sharp. The 50 mm lens is great! What is the background?? 
 (Oh ok, the wife is the background, silly me!)

		| | This is one beauty of an image with the loveliest tones I have ever seen. An outstanding effort and one deserving a ribbon. Congratulations on your top ten finish. |

		| | Such a sweet portrait and the placement of this baby against the mother's busom makes for the perfect setting ;) Such expressive eyes at such a young age. The skin is so pure and almost porcelain like. It's amazing looking at babies eyes because the whites in their young eyes are actually not white but with a tint of blue ;) Such innocence. Great job! |

		| | I couldn't find any Mowery shots on google, but this is a top notch portrait in its own right.  Lighting, focus, composition all "spot on" as they say here on DPC. 9 only cuz I couldn't find the artist... |
