Jayden, at Six Months Old.

 

 

If anyone's interested by this stage of the proceedings, I found the final version of this photograph on a very flaky green CD (Memo to Self: must change it to gold-silver).

 

It was 21x25 inches framed and matted. One copy exists: it's on the wall at his parents' house. To my eternal shame and regret, I didn't notice that I had misspelt "Stephenson". To this day I am asked when the corrected version will be available.

 

Looking at this realisation, I now realise that the "moving baby" explanation, rather than the "it was a close up" explanation is possibly more accurate, although I think the centre shot was taken from an inch or two closer than the other two (top-left, bottom-right).

 

My favourite one of the panels is the bottom-left: a real-life recording of a baby boy beginning to realise the absolute power he has over little girls of the "12-year-old" variety.

I like the top left best. It's a nice composition/angle, & Jayden's expression looks curious.

I agree with Geraldine. In addition the lighting on the face and the dark background really make this image very beautiful.

This is very beautiful, and the presentation with multiple photos works so well.

Moral of the story: Don't crop baby's head, or yours might get chopped off ! :-)))
