Personally I feel that the picture is cropped too heavily on top. Would like to see the father's eyes. Apart from that, brilliant. The trust and safety of the child is illustrated very well.
Best regards
Terry

Thanks Terry....its strange that everyone sees something different in a shot isn't it as when I have shown this shot to others, they really like that the shot concentrates on the baby.....I guess the crop can be taken both ways I guess......but thanks for the compliment....

It's a lovely shot, great light on baby's face and great sense of protectiveness. I don't mind the crop on the father's face.

lol! Cheers Gareth, its what I tried to convey actually....I couldn't really get the bib lost though as he had just been fed, was very asleep and don't think the parents would have been too happy me asking...lol! Was a bit of a quick snap anyway, so had to take as was....but yeah, if I had a better chance, I agree. Thanks for your comments though! Appreciated!

I tell you, Johnny, that's a super portrait. I love everything about it. Lovely crop, lighting, conversion, baby...

Best wishes,
