If that's one of your first steps, then you'll be running pretty soon!!

Thank you Gearoid!

It is a lovely photo. Good composition, excellent lighting! the background is dull a little. ;)

I usually pass on baby shots, but couldn't pass this one by. Too cute and very nicely done

Some photos beat you over the head with their "gee whiz, look at me" sort of impact. But then these grow stale if that's all there is to them. But other photos reveal their impact more upon considered and repeated viewings.

 

I am struck by the fact that I've seen this portrait before, but that I like it more each time I view it. This is technically exquisite and utterly timeless. I only wish the shadow of the hand at right were there, too.

 

It's always great to find under-appreciated nuggets like this!

Thanks to ALL of you for your comments. They are REALLY mean a lot for me.

Really well done. The pose is good, and the expression is riveting. However, the background looks odd to me. Is this an artifact of photoediting (or the effect of a "hair light"?) that the background on the right is more pale where I would naturally expect a shadow? Because of that, and the lack of texture, the child looks like he is levitating. As a father, that troubles me ;-) But maybe this was the desired effect.

This photo has a glow about it that I like. It brings the subject forward in the frame and gives the image a 3D appearence.

Great shot, terrific pose. What makes one pic go thru the newly posted critique forum more than another? Just curious. AJM
