| This is a terrific shot! The entire knowledge and understanding of the world in a child's eye. |

| I love this too, for the same reason as other folks have mentioned, because it is not the usual cutesy baby picture. With the finger on her chin I imagine her to be a little mischievous elfin creature, trying to decide what tricks to play on the hapless humans next...I love the strangeness, the unusual lighting, even the tight crop. In general I am unmoved by baby pictures, so for me to love a baby picture is really saying something. But then I'm weird :-) |

I actually love this image. It is very surreal and creepy - characteristics you wouldn't expect from a baby picture - which might not be desirable for your purposes. But as an image, I find very compelling, and feel this would garner accolades from the Posthumous crowd.
Your lens choice is another factor: The classic bulging distortion of the fisheye lens you appear to have used also adds to the weirdness, as does the downward angle of the composition. Finally, the shallow dof adds the surreal, dreamy feeling.
For creating a classic baby picture, all the other suggestions on the thread are excellent. |
