 I know this will be knocked down in the voting process, but I thought this short challenge would be my chance to slip in a baby picture. The model is my 2 month old son Leifur, and yes this is a smile on his face if it isn't obvious.

Did a tiny bit cropping and used NeatImage to clean it up. Made a black and white version that was a tighter crop, but liked this color version better.

Greetings from the Critique club

Hmmm, this is an excellent image.
I think the soft look definitely works for a baby portrait.

I'm not sure about the crop at the top. Would have to see the entire image to be sure.

I'm trying to find something, anything to suggest. How about using a different blanket behind him? One with no stripes and a complimentary colour.

Well done.
JC

He's gonna be one dangerous kid if he's starting to flirt with the audience already!

:) Great shot ! I would crop just a little tighter on the right to center the little man. Or open up on the left just a tad. Still a great shot.

Beautiful shot and expression. I think it might have been interesting to crop a little more at the top to make the crop you chose a little stronge, giving his expression more importance in the frame.

Leifur the Lucky! I hope! Til hamingju. What a rosey charmer! I love the half a wink and that baby smile. The light has captured that beautiful soft baby skin. You've maximized his face, and minimized the background - good - but wish we could have the top of his head too.

This is such a cute photo and I just want to hug him
Definately someone to give thanks for. I think this is one of the top photos in my opinion not just because he is a cute baby but the image is sharp and lighting is good Its just a shame you chopped his head off at the top.He gets my vote!

Bad Points: way too much neatimage or whatever has given the smooth effect
Good Points: skint tones are well done
Overall Score: 2

Skin tones are good and it looks in focus, slightly soft focus but in a good way. It's a good close up shot.
