 This is a picture of my beautiful son, Jack. He's 11 weeks old & is of course, my favorite subject to photograph. I adjusted the lighting & hue/saturation and cloned out some flash spots. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions of what I could have done to make it better. Thank you

Yes, his eyes are unedited, except for a few flash spots I cloned out on underneath his eye.. I agree, the lighting just isn't right for this and what's really weird is that the photo looked good on my laptop and that's where I was when I submitted it, but looking at it on our desk top, it was much different.. The flash I used was my SB-600 & it was way too much for this. Lesson learned.. Thanks for looking though. I appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Nice photo! This baby looks intense! I suggest different lighting, perhaps a nice soft just before sunset light. Are those eyes unedited?

Cute baby...I hate to critique you on this....but its yuck as far as photo quality goes. It lacks dramatic lighting and the eyes are a little scary. The cute little mouth is adorable...don't hate me! I'm sorry!
