The meek shall inherit the earth - and then they will move to the city.

Wow, what a bunch of closed minded voters. Some people cannot handle the process of life. I have delivered two babies at home, and I really appreciate this shot. To bad this did not get more respect. I would have at least though langdon would have gotten it.

City Life? I don't get it. 2 sjgleah

Uhh. You may have gotten too literal...

Poorly composed (hand in the top right corner of the frame, baby's hand cut off), and I don't get the connection to the theme.

Congratulations, Great picture, but not much to do with city life...
06/28/2002 01:15:00 PM
Congratulations!!

hello cruel world............
06/27/2002 01:54:00 PM
GReat picture, but i don't believe there is any city life in it.
06/27/2002 09:55:00 AM
I assume this is your baby! Congrats, if so.
City life? Hmmmm. I'll think about it.
06/26/2002 06:20:00 PM
The city aspect is not evident at all to me. Babies aren't just born in cities.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this is a 'city' hospital. If this is your child, C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! ! As a photo though, I have to say you cropped the top a bit too close to the finger and the horizon is sloping heavy to the left. Alos the hand(?) in the upper right corner distracted. (I know, I tell you you cropped to much from the top, then too little... No one said I had to be reasonable :)

I guess it wouldn't be a challenge without a baby shot. Well done, but maybe a bit more than I would have wanted to know......Color is excellent, as well as focus, framing, etc. (then there's the "would I want this shot hanging on my wall" criteria, answer: no, sorry)

get that baby a blanket! Nice shot of life.
06/26/2002 10:47:00 AM
You really should have saved this photo for a challenge more befitting. It's a great picture but it really does not meet the "city life" challenge. It's a big stretch and you'll receive bad scores because of it.
06/25/2002 11:58:00 PM
What does this have to do with the topic?
06/25/2002 09:56:00 PM
Excellent ΓΆ€“ What an interesting choice. Hospitals are in every city, babies are in every hospital . I would have cropped it above the hand but that might reveal unwanted area as well. Good color, focus and framing.
06/25/2002 03:06:00 PM
COME ON PEOPLE... YOU CAN'T JUST PUT A PIC OF YOUR BABY AND GET A STUPID "CUTENESS" VOTE.
06/24/2002 06:45:00 PM
Could have done without the vernix, and kind of a stretch to meet the challenge, sorry.
06/24/2002 06:31:00 PM
Congrats!!!! Hey, I don't see anything relating to "life".....hahahaha Great photo
06/24/2002 05:16:00 PM
THAT IS SOOOO NASTY!
06/24/2002 04:55:00 PM
Darling! New life.
06/24/2002 04:05:00 PM
Nice family snap shot.
06/24/2002 11:56:00 AM
I am sorry....but that is just WRONG.....CITY LIFE MAN!
06/24/2002 11:48:00 AM
yikes
06/24/2002 08:47:00 AM
How'd you get in the delivery room?
06/24/2002 04:07:00 AM
It's almost refreshing to see a non-angelic baby photo here for a change. It's a good photo even if the subject isn't very appealing, and it addresses the "life" part of the challenge really well.
06/24/2002 01:32:00 AM
Love the title!!!!
06/24/2002 12:49:00 AM
hahaha !!!!!! so true !
06/24/2002 12:30:00 AM
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE CITY?!
06/24/2002 12:27:00 AM
Good photo but without the title, it doesn't do much for me in this challenge... - 3 - jmsetzler
