OUTSTANDING! Congrats on your new and beautiful baby, as well as this touching capture.

Beautiful...you caught her right when her eyes locked on yours (or at least it seems that way). Pretty intense moment knowing it may have been the first time (or rather, close to it)

Congratulations! .. and nice shot too! I like the wide angle... really draws focus to the face and expression.

Nice focus on the eyes. I think this is one of the best images in the challenge. It has a very beautifully delicate feel to it.

Looks like a very wide angle or fisheye lens. It's ok but is kinda of distracting
