Nathaniel at Christmas

wonderful eyes, and cute expression. I might have cropped the image so the eyes were in the top 1/3 and maybe placed the baby off to the side a little. The green, yellow, red and orange colors are over whelming the baby. Did you try BW?

I have a image on my site that is similar, if you want to look. Laura

Laura,

I went back and converted the photo to BW, but it is very flat and not appealing. I also looked at the original to adjust the cropping as you suggested, but there wasn't any more image at the bottom and I didn't want to cut off the top of his head. I agree that the green, yellow, red and orange colors are over powering. But as you probably know, when photographing children, you often have to take the shot as it happens. This was Christmas Morning and there were bright colors everywhere you looked. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them. Yours were one of the few I've received and are most welcome.
