What a loving moment captured!The infants relaxed hand indicates to me that she feels safe and the contrast between the tiny hand and the strong father's hand adds a real caring touch. Congrats!

Ran across this one in my files recently & decided to play some more

with black and white conversion. Thoughts? Too busy? Too

contrasty? Too good? (yeah right!) Anyway, the owner of this hand is

now 1 1/2 so I can't exactly re-do it, but any ideas on post

production would be very helpful. Thanks

I like how you framed the baby's hand with a larger one. I also love the clarity

I Love it! I see two long life lines, one for the childs future and one for your future in photography. Keep shooting I love your work. ~ Garin

Now there's a comment! :-) Thanks Garin! Merry x-mas & happy new years as well.

Not bad, but this kind of thing is rather overdone, and I suspect it has way more value to you as a parent than to us as an audience. In this case, that's a good thing. Pretty good use of light...I'm guessing you were standing in sunlight?

This was a while ago, so I'm taking an educated guess, but I think this was at the hospital with window-light. Relatively sure that I'm shooting with my right hand while holding her's with my left (hence, less than perfect sharpness) I know they're cliche's but they're "my" cliche's as the saying goes. Good memories too. Thanks for stoppin by

I too like the contrast between the hand size. I do think the photo would be much stronger if you cropped the left side of the photo, to the edge of the Adults hand,and maybe some off the right side of the print where its white with no detail. It would bring your eye back to the suject and clean up the composition. I also think you need a fuller range of tones in the photo,this looks a little flat.If this is your child ,I would suggest you take this photo every year or so ,to show how the hands change over time. I did this with the bottom of my sons feet as he grew up from age 1 month to age 18. Thanks for sharing it.

a helping hand..... I love this storie, a lot off shadow and not easy to look at.... but I am still looking...... that's MY clich鮮.. it hold my eye... I am looking at 5 little fingertops, an open little hand..... a new life

 

I like it

I was wondering if maybe the shadows had gotten away from me in the levels and black and white conversion. The original was a little blown out on the right side...maybe I over-did it? thanks for stopping by p.s., michael; great idea (will have to wait till she's asleep though as she holds still for NOTHING :-)

Wait'll she's 15... You've got it good right now, Jeff!

Yes...I have a 15 year old daughter...enjoy her tinyness! :o) All the best in the New Year, Iren
