Natural lighting. Black bed sheets for a backdrop, on a cobbled together holder :) Editing included selective contrast and levels boost, color adjustment, neat image, resize, and border.

I wasn't going to enter this, but I don't think I posted this photo specifically from my shoot...just a link to another gallery. With a field this large, I decided to throw it in.

I love this shot... Such a precious moment you have captured here.. Not sure if someone has mentioned it before but there is a small section behind the dad's head that is not darkened completely..I would darken it to match in with the rest of the backdrop.. But saying that, photos like these dont always have to be technically perfect to have such a special meaning. Beautiful photo!

This shot moved me, since I have two young daughters. :) It's also well-taken. I voted it a 6.

this is about the most precious thing ever, you're right, it deserved better. I bet a good black and white conversion could have given it that "artsy" feeling that voters are looking for. :/

Sweet pose, nice lighting and composition. The portrait orientation really emphasizes how big Dad is compared to baby.

Very cute. Love wrinkly skinned babies. I like it but the few hot spots are a little distracting.

About as precious as life gets.
A memory to last a lifetime, and moment to stir the emotions.
Well done.

The highlights are too blown. Cute pose. I would have ditched the diaper. 5

take the diaper off. I realize that there may be a chance of pee or poop with the little one, but your picture will be better. I have had my hand pooped on and my foot peed on and I was only the photographer not the mom or dad. It is worth the risk, babies are meant to be photographed naked! Nice moment though.
