Greetings from the Critique Club,
This is going to be a difficult picture to critique I scored this portrait an 8. This is an absolutely precious moment and a beautiful capture.
Some people might argue that your image might have been stronger using the rules of thirds but I would disagree this is one of those images that is more powerful in my opinion by breaking that rule.
Technically there is nothing to say about this image you did everything dead on right.
The only 2 things I deducted points for where composition and very minor:
1. the border, my dad taught me to KIS Keep it Simple let your work speak for itself. I was suprised not to see this image in the top 20. It is very strong but the border does subtract a bit as the image is so delicate and the border is so harsh.
2. the upper right corner of the image instead of a black fill I think it might be a stronger image with a light color.
But again, this is an excellent image those things are minor - after reviewing your portfolio your challenge entries keep getting stronger with each - I see a ribbon in your future! :) I hope this helps in some small way, best regards. Michele

| Now that's a cute baby portrait. For me the border is a bit of overkill. Perhaps a black border with a hairline pastel yellow to match the blanket would be less dominating. |

| very deftly handled baby shot, almost consumed by the monster border. the skin tones are so delicate and the angle you shot at almost gives me a sense of the sleeping childs weight in my arms, well done. the border on the other hand is better suited to a monster truck pull. |

| The only thing that would have made this better is if the white (robe?) had been black making the background one solid color. |

| Well if that isn't the most disgustingly cute thing I've ever seen! You'll do well with this photo, perfect capture. The border distracts from it though, it's a tad too harsh. |

| That baby has beautiful skin. I think the blanket on the right is a bit distracting, but overall this is a treasure of a portrait. Congrats! |

| Beautiful photo, one to treasure for years to come. I would probably go a little lighter on the border as it takes the eyes away from your precious baby. 8 |

| Of all the baby shots, this is the only one that is a true portrait in my eyes. I just love that adorable face. The skintones are very natural, the lighting is nice and it isn't over processed. If possible, I'd have removed the blanket on the left side, but understandably, that might not be possible. Very sweet indeed. Congratulations to the parents!!! |

| How sweet!! Congradulations on your new arrival. For something so tender though, I don't really like the bulky bold border. |
