Frame it! This is great.

Nice moment but would like to see the parents in different colored shirts to separate them from the background more.

On the one hand I like how the baby is the most lit here (perfectly) drawing attention to the fact that he/she is the focus of their love. But, I then want to see the love and their faces are too dark to allow me to do that as well as I like. But, then again, it may be my monitor. *sigh*
If Iwere in charge of the wardrobe, I'd have put a long sleeved shirt on the man.

Nicely done.

Good capture, do like the lighting, great expression on kiddo's face, wish we could see more of it, and maybe a slight distinction between his shirt and the background. Fits well with the theme.

Very sweet image. A bit dark on my monitor....but that baby is precious.
03/27/2008 08:24:16 AM
very nice and calm image, try one more without the nappy - maybe it works better :)
03/27/2008 07:46:23 AM
Very beautiful photo.
03/27/2008 01:46:56 AM
very sweet. might have tried without the diaper?
03/27/2008 12:05:23 AM
Awesome
03/26/2008 06:23:58 PM
Very nice, clean - I hope the little one wasn't cold
03/26/2008 05:23:29 PM
Tender moment...I wish their was a little more reflected light on Dad.
03/26/2008 12:36:07 PM
Nice intimate shot, naked baby might have worked even better on this one. Regardless, this one will do well.

Really gorgeous: if this weren't a Basic Challenge, it could have done with some dodge on mom's face.... Love the clarity and composition...8

I think getting rid of the diaper would've really enhanced this shot.

A lovely scene, to be sure.

Some things I personally would prefer... flattening the mother's shirt just a bit so I could see the infant's face just a bit more. And realizing that it's complicated, slightly better light on the parent's faces (not enough to detract from the infant, who is the center of this image, but enough that they are not in darkness). For example, the father's neck is too bright, while his face is too dark. Perhaps bringing the light around to the front just a little bit more would help? Or else block the light reaching his neck so it doesn't detract from his face...
