 I hope this will 'meet the challenge'. Chris TRULY LOVES the shower and cries when it is time to come out of it. He is 20 months old and has a very expressive face. I struggled with lighting, it was difficult to find a balance that would show the water drops and yet avoid excessive reflection and excessive shadows. The limmited space in the bathroom did not help either; this is the best I could come up with. This was my first experiment at photographing a shower scene, I hope my lighting will get better with practice. I thought of photographing romantic scenes of couples holding hands in semi-darkness or sunsets, etc, but then I thought most other contestants would be doing that; I now hope I won't get too many DNMC's.

Cute shot. Feels a bit too smooth (processing?) and then sharpened with the jagged white edge around the head and some of the water. If this weren't basic editing, I'd like to have seen the eyes brightened up/brought out a bit more.

Fantastic shot! I think there is just too much yellow here though, maybe bring down the light temperature to bring out the whites and reds.
