A nicely expressive portrait, but too much flash. Move the shampoo away and back up to reduce the flash strength. 4-8 feet should be a good distance. You might also try pre-focusing on a part of the bright white tub at the same distance to "fool" the camera into underexposing.

This surely has sentimental value to the photographer, but is technically and artistically bland imho. The lighting is a bit harsh and unbalanced - bouncing off of the ceiling would be really improve this and eliminate the shadows behind the baby's head. If the shampoo bottle is an important part of the composition, I would have placed it differently, otherwise it doesn't need to be there. That is a good expression to capture, but the shot suffers from the aforementioned details in my opinion.

very cute kid! there are some overexposed places across the face & such. Perhaps a softer feel might have made this even better. did you use the built in flash. New Adjestment layers would have fixed this up right away!

Cute photo, but the flash seems pretty harsh, try either cutting down the intensity, bouncing the beam upwards, using a reflector, or using a diffuser. Also, try to capture a more natural, playful moment.

What big eyes you have! Try to diffuse or bounce the flash next time to prevent losing the textures. The bathroom walls are white enough to be a diffusive box.

Very sweet picture, cute expression. A couple things I would do differently is get rid of the shampoo bottle, just distracts from the cute baby and also try not to use the onboard flash, which is hard to do in the bathroom because there usually isn't good natural lighting there, but it just tends to wash out the subject. Overall, it's a very cute picture.

A bit too much like a snapshot and a bit washed out on the face on account of the flash.
Good pose though

good luck
