I don't know if this is my best picture of 2006, but certainly my best accomplishment :). So could not submit anything else...

Not expecting this to score great - more posting it as a tribute to my wife an newborn son!

Perfect accomplishment is, indeed, the right words - and a very pleasing photo to remember this lovely period in life. Personally, I like the lighting and composition. Very nice. Congratulations.

Gorgeous! Especially the way the baby is looking up at Mum! It would have been nice if Mum's hand was a little lower to show more of the baby and to make it less prominent in the picture.

amazing connection shown here between mother and babe. I love the atypical harsh/noir lighting. Makes for an exciting composition of dark shapes. 9

I like the madonna and child, both are beautiful, but the light is too harsh for my preference. I'd like to see a little reflected light soften/fill in the shadows in the faces of both mother and baby. Just my opinion.

Lovely detail and post processing but IMHO the mothers pose doesn't look natural,maybe its the angle?

I think the tones work really well here, although theres just something that doesn't quite work, i think it's the mothers pose and the darkness of both of their faces.
Still good shot though.

B&W works really good with this picture. But the lighting is maybe just a bit too strong

I love the way they just emerge from the black with just enough light on their faces to suggest all the details. Beautiful.
