I find that this portrait is a little too squashed in from the top, maybe you should have left more room top and bottomwise.

cute but face from this angle looks distorted. Try to get more light in the eye!

A good subject but you are too close to do him/her justice. It's an unattractive image due to the model looking off frame and the awkaward angle of the mouth. Her right eye seems a bit red sugesting flash was used. Flash is deadly to human subjects. Natural light is infinitely preferable. Suggestion - place infant in a comfortable chair. Sit down 3-5 metres away, focus on her face against a neutral background, observe, wait and shoot. Sooner or later you'll get somethign better than this without even trying too hard.

Photos like this are tough to vote on. Sure, it's a cute baby. What element of this photo is going to draw me in?

too close up I feel, not very flattering for such a beautiful baby.

I think the cropping is a bit too tight, the focus could be sharper also you could try different methods in lightning, Beutiful little baby though :)

Methinks a very young baby! The crop to a landscape aspect is unusual and maybe I would have preferred to see more of the child.

I don't think this is a flattering shot of your baby. It's so close that the baby looks flattened almost. I would back up quite a bit, focus on the eyes and maybe use a little neat image ti even out the skin tones a bit.

i think the crop is too tight for this small of a baby....the baby looks all scrunched up in there...looks as if you did some editing to the eyes
