Great photo!

Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated - thanks

excellent portrait. What`s the light source ?

James...the light source here is a window facing north.

Nothing to critique. Exposure on window light is great, exposure on darker side is great, expression and emotions are great. I can't find anything wrong with it. You should submit that to competitions!

Rick,

 

I agree; this is a beautiful portrait. Gorgeous tones, nice light, excellent composition. My only concern is that it appears to have been overly sharpened. Most noticeable around the baby's right eye, and the woman's nose. Great photo.

Freelancers usually try to connect a photo with a story, i think. And what they do is right. This photo does not need a story, either.

I like it. I'm not sure what else to say.

This is wonderful!

Second time I'm ending up on one of your photos, today. It is simply great... maybe a little too oversharpened, it may gain from a softer look, as long as you don't loose the texture of the skin, and the darker shades on the cheeks of the baby. I bet the original print is even better.

I Love this picture. Wonderful faces, good composition. One little flaw (?): the woman's face seems to come out of nowhere. I miss a tiny bit of light on her neck or chest. Apart from that: really beautiful.

Very Nice. The amount of affection that radiates out is immense.

I like the way the mother protects her baby, and the way this baby look at us.

Very nice.

Nice close crop. Good composition, the eyes really grab the attention, then the mothers face lead the viewer back to the baby's face. Good soft lighting.

Great

Lovely image. I know it has been done a thousand times, but each new life is a miracle redone, and your capture of the love of this (mother?) for the child is apparent.

stunning!

the light in the baby's eye telling about futuer very good photo for me i love it it gives me insparation

excellent image

Great tight composition. Perfect expression on the baby. I don't need to see the eyes of the woman to know what she is thinking about or feeling. A good shot. I think you pushed the shadows too dark..(most noticable in the baby's hair and eyes).

Lovely touching photo. Dare I say it but I get the feel of the Mona Lisa from the baby!! A smile without a smile! The babys right eye in the photo seems to me to draw the corner of her mouth upwards, the illusion of the smile!! Well done

nice!!! love the look of teh babies eyes.

lovely portrait, nicely composed and well lit. The expressions of both subjects are compelling.

The childs eyes and the mothers embrace make this a classic shot. Excellent work!
