Sensitive lighting is what makes this a special shot. Excellent composition.

A LOVELY IMAGE!!!!

Lovely! Very well done!

Very sweet and the sepia works well for this one.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. There's a little story that goes with this photograph. I was in downtown Houston when a lady approached me and asked me to take a photograph of her and her baby in front of a monument. After I took the photo, she told me that she was here from North Carolina because her son needed surgery on his arm to correct a nerve defect. I was very moved by her story and when I looked down at the baby carriage I noticed how tenderly she was holding his hand. I then asked if I could take a photo and she said yes. I took the shot quickly before she moved her hands.

Excellent balance and great use of sepia. The lighting is so very controlled. A well thought out photo.

 

Great job!
