Needs a touch more contrast between shirt and baby. I like the high key otherwise. Well composed, but a tiny bit too much negative space. The mothers foot on the left is A) cut off, and B) blurry!

Very nice put you should have tried to include the whole foot in the picture. *** 7 ***

Love the soft lighting and the pose of the mother & child. The soft lighting casts a gentle glow and feel to the photo. Perfect for it adds to the tender moment of the mother cradling her child. My only critique on improving the photo is that it is a shame that the shirt hides some of the baby's face. For if the shirt was not obstructing the view, the viewer would then actually see another tender moment of the child's head resting comfortably upon his mother's chest.

Sweet. I wish the baby's face were more visible and the mom's foot weren't cut off. Nice use of neg. space.

I like they they are wearing similar outfits. I think though that the white shirts against the white background blend a little too much, especially on the mother's back. Myabe grey shirts.. or a grey or slightly textured background... or just some burning where the shirt lines are. I think compositionally this would be more grounded if the foot was not cut off. Also, and this is a nit-picky thing, I can see quite a bit of pixelation on the white background- not counting that against you, just thought I'd mention it... I can only see it because I recently calibrated my monitor, otherwise I would have never known. 6

Nice capture. My wife would probably give you an "Ahhhh, that's cute". I like the lighting and the pose. I guess my only criticism would be the cut off foot. Otherwise a very nice image.

seems too bright no good dark range of tones

I like the composition of this but not the glow on the baby's face that would be better if it were sharp and the movement from the foot looks odd but not as much as the blurry baby face. 5

Very soft & tender, just the way this should come across.
Very nice choice for a black & white too.
I'm not sure what's with her left foot, as it almost looks like her toes are negative. Maybe she has a deformity. Maybe my eyes are egtting old. Regardless, I won't won't cast judgement or take anything away because of it and will wait to see after the challenge is over.
Well done!

pretty, I like the hands, I wish they were featured more prominantly.

I don't like that the foot is cut off on the bottom. Other may not mind, just a pet peeve for me.

there's nothing better that a mother and a new baby...this is a wonderful study...I would have liked the foot uncropped, but that's minor...8

I like the composition and the b/w treatment. But I find myself distracted by the foot. All seems to be still in the shot except for that.
