*** Critique Club ***
First Impression: Good colour and contrast. Lighting (flash) is a bit too harsh. Shadow from hand and arm distracts.
Composition: Placement of your subject seems to work and you've managed to keep from cropping at joints like wrists and elbows (a rule of thumb when doing portraits or shots of people/animals).
Exposure: Seems ok as the skin tones and other colours appear natural.
Impact: Expressions on children's faces can usually carry a shot despite other imperfections. In this image I feel that the flash lighting is quite harsh and takes away from the impact.
I'm sure if you set up some other lights and avoided the on board flash you could get some very pleasing images of the child.
Keep shooting.

| Very cute baby. Light casting not so good shadow onto baby's face ffrom hand. Background is pretty but distracting especially since the bear is upside down, it makes you look at it more than you want to. Overall photo seems a bit grainy. Possibly check ISO setting. |

Im trying to comment more on the middle of the pack shots, so ....
I like the way you framed the hands and face, the colors look great and the blue in the blanket set off those baby blues very nicely.
On the down side, the blanket is too busy and bright to let the eye focus on the child, and the on camera flash creates too even a light and that hard inverted V of shadow, distracting from the lovely lines which the hands and arms make.
Nice but ...6 |

| For me, the chosen background is a bit busy and detracts. Cute baby though - such big, blue eyes. |

Your baby has beautiful blue eyes.
This doesn't look like a portrait however.....more like a snapshot. |

| Great focus on the eyes, the background seems a tad bit distracting, and there seems to be a lot of noise in the photo. I hope you do well in the challenge. ~Roni |
