Greetings from the Critique Club

What a cute little baby.

Now, to do this little one proud, it would be an idea to take many pictures and find one that has the child in a happy mood. When the happy baby is posed, You may find that cropping doesn't need to be so tight.

I'd also suggest trying an ISO of about 100, and an aperture of about 4.0 or even 5.6 on the bright sunshiny day you appear to have had. this would give better lighting and good depth of field on the child's face, your central subject. These apertures usually work when the background is the sky or very plain.

YOu're doing well for a newcomer to DPC. I wish you success in your future Challenges, and with your future playtime with this charming little baby.

the tight crop with the dark frame makes this feel claustrophobic to me (hate it when my vocabulary out runs my spelling!) Not real wild about the facial expression, brings back memories of parties where we smoked stuff, but they are very pretty blue eyes - 5

This photo, IMO, has a few problems .. The focus doesn't look to be there, the lighting seems flat to me and the background pink spot is distracting.

lighting makes it look very flat.

This is cute. What pretty eyes! Some things that might help here would be a slight levels and curve adjustment. The lighting and colors seem a little flat and give kind of a grey overcast to the shot. Adjusting the levels might help to brighten this up a bit. Otherwise, it's pretty darn cute.

For me, I wish there was a bit more "breathing room" around the entire photo as it looks like he is squished inside. The eyes seem much more in focus than the rest of the photo - kind of...eerie
