My first born and love of my life. Be kind and constructive.

Hey 3/3 person. You are an ass. If you think so much of yourself and so little of my picture. At least comment. This is why I am beginning to hate PN. How the hell to you unsubscribe to this?

Matthew, please allow me to congratulate you on the birth of your son, Aiden.

It should not be too hard for anyone to understand that this little bundle of joy is the love of your life.

I also had a quick look at a previous shot and thought that one to be equally worthy of submitting for critique.

The fact that here we have eye contact with your subject is good. I assume that the main light source might have been outdoor light entering through a window perhaps and you have utilized a fill flash, to accentuate Aiden's eyes and lovely smile.

I find the tight framing less appealing, though you may have wanted the viewer(s) to concentrate on his expression alone.

Hang in there... Don't give up on PN just yet. I've read that anonymous ratings might soon only be possible, by accompanying them with a comment. Check out some of Josh Root's most recent forum postings.

Myself -- not a 3/3 for the baby shot is closer to 2/2 (at best) in my book since it's not in focus and takes no effort, originality to concoct. The only savior from a '1' for originality is the nice, tight framing which most beginners cannot pull off. So, props for the framing but work on your focus (and to get a '4' or higher, your aesthetics).
