**Greetings from the Critique Club!**

Newborn babies are always a hit in my book, and this one is no different. I love his sweet little face in peaceful repose. You have a great subject, and that is a start. Seeing as how it is a "Day 1" portrait, I'm assuming your lighting is harsh hospital flouresent lights. Not the best to work with, I know, but it looks like you made the best of it.

What I would work on: Obviously, as others have mentioned, the filter didn't work for you as far as the challenge went. It adds a texture to the photo that takes away from the softness of the baby.

Overall, I think you have a great photo here, very touching and loving. Keep up the good work!

It appears a bit over sharpened..On my monitor the baby's skin has the same texture as the sheet...Congrats on the baby!

Seems to be some sort of crosshatch filtering effect (personally, I'm not a fan of those filters). To me, it makes the photo seem blurry. The light looks a bit harsh, but such a sweet subject and fills the frame nicely.

I think you had something nice but he crosshatch effect takes away from the "photo" element and puts the image into Digital Art, for me.

the pixels appear to show, did you blow this up too much. Beautiful baby though.

Don't care much for the crosshatching filter that seems to have been applied.

Great portrait. I don't know if I like the hash mark thing over the photo. I can't tell if it makes or breaks the photo. Good luck ~Roni
