Aww, he's pretty happy there. Great shot. I would get rid of most of the back wall, its distracting to see the knobs and the color doesn't complement your subject well. Try to zoom in and catch that face more, Hes a cutie!

very sweet, but more like a snapshot to me.

Cute baby. Coloring looks a bit on the green side to me, especially the shadow.

OK - pets, kids and toys, unless they are especially good then they tend to look like snaps. This has very obious 'snap' giveaways - the dark shadow from onboard flash, the taps half in frame and half out of frame, the sloping and very plain background.

Now, for an example of how good kid photos can be go and check out some of Jacko's images. He used directional light either from an off camera flash or from a natural light source (window). He makes sure that the background and setting do not distract from the baby. Well worth studying some of these techniques.

a cute child with a winning smile, but the lighting/cropping of this shot doesn't really suit me. perhaps a closer cropped might have helped...

Okay, your nephew is cute. But you already entered a very similar shot in the 'colours' challenge.

pretty effects of light in the water. cute child. strategic placement of the rubber duckie. would like to see this image with some light bounced from the other direction to add some depth and knock down that distracting shadow...plus a little bit of cropping on the right. adorable expression!

extremely cute, thanks for sharing your celebration.

too much light on the baby, looks oversharpened.
10/11/2005 12:15:51 AM
I too have this type of photo. Thanks for bringing back the memories :)

cute, but the flash is a bit strong...
10/10/2005 05:33:00 PM
I'm a sucker for baby pics. This made me smile.
10/10/2005 03:27:36 PM
Seems like we saw this little guy in another challenge? He's a cutie but this is too snapshot-ish.
10/10/2005 03:26:24 PM
Both times I have seen this picture I thought the baby should be positioned so that the walls (or at least the faucets) could be cropped out.
10/10/2005 01:42:17 PM
He looks like a happy baby! I think the picture could be improved if you were able to bounce the flash to eliminate the shadow on the left of his head. I would also have cropped the top 10% off to eliminate the fixtures. Great looking baby!!

I've seen this before :) Cute kid.
10/10/2005 12:36:22 PM
That baby looks just like someone I know! He is PRECIOUS!!!! Definitely cause for celebration!!!
10/10/2005 06:00:02 AM
Cute child. But I don't see any celebration. Is this the same photo-shoot as the complementary colours picture?
10/10/2005 05:13:20 AM
Different lighting, a different angle, or a different composition (closer, perhaps) would make this more than a baby snap-shot. If you could get an assistant, a light shinging from behind (above or from the baby's right side and behind) would add a third dimension.

Lovely child..
