Little Brother

This is another shot of my 2wk old boy. T-max 100 processed in D-76

and printed on color paper. Please critique.....

I've seen this sort of thing often enough now that it doesn't have the impact that it used to, but it is still a solid shot. I love the child's expression and eye contct with the camera and I love the detail of Dad's wedding ring showing. I also think it's very good in terms of lighting and exposure. What I don't like is that Dad's hands just come out of nowhere. Here is a similar one where the hands seem more natural to me (but a bit overwhelming) http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo.tcl?photo_id=523354 . If you found my comments helpful, please rate and/or comment on my porfolio.

 

Note appended to the original comment - that's hilarious. I've given you a link to one of your own photos.

What a wonderful photograph for a parent to have! Wonderful lighting!

the poor baby looks exhausted. ;O) nice photo and nice tones!

This was something extra. Good idea, nice toning and light. Onlything I would like to se is a different cropping. I think this pic would have worked in a more square format.
