PS: I was wrong about the baby's parentage, but not about giving this photo a high score. :-)

A welcome addition to the challenge. How does something that could predictably be a worn-out subject seem fresh? Love the high-key and the skin exposure seems just right. I think I know whose baby this is, but right or wrong it doesn't influence my vote up or down. I've bumped this up pretty high. :-)

Nice high key, I like the fact you can just make out the line of the bath along the left hand side and then it just fades into the white, nice effect.

I think that this is an excellent high key portrait of this baby. B&W tones are spot on fabulous. Focus and detail are wonderful with lots of highlights caught in the hair and some really nice catchlights in those big, beautiful eyes. I also like that this portrait shows a little more personality than just a straight look at the camera or smile at the camera. That tongue sticking out with the slight glance just off to the side definately is an interesting expression that draws our eyes to this child. I wonder just what s(he) is concentrating on?

It's a nice high key shot, but I would have preferred a tighter crop and more environment showing. As it is, I found the pic a bit confusing as it appears there's a sharply demarcated band of white/gray in the lower 1/4 (which doesn't look good). It took me a while to figure out that's a bath tub.

Beautiful high key. Wish the top of the bathtub were a little clearer to add some context. I didn't see it right away.
