Wasn't planning on entering this challenge but after I shot off a few at bathtime, I couldn't resist. The hardest part was chosing which one. :)

Converted to black and white, slight adjustment to curves, cropped a little off the right and resized.

Thanks to all who commented! It's both helpful and encouraging to me. I know it's not a traditional portrait (being in a bathtub and all) but I think it turned out quite nice. Of course, I'm probably a little biased... :) And BTW, he really enjoys his baths. :)

Here was my other choice (and believe me, it was a hard one) but the one I submitted just seemed technically better. This one was just fun!!


Thanks again,
Jen

This is a really good shot... I could see it in a magazine. My only critique is the bright spot at the top of the head and behind reflecting against the tub. Excellent choice of b/w.

Not too bad, this entry. Nice mood in the bathroom...

I really like the light setting, and your perspective. The "reflection" is also very nice. A good 9! :-D

Gorgeous shot, the composition is spot on, the reflection in the background kicks this image a lot. Great photo!

This is just precious. What a gorgeous little baby. The expression in his face is just priceless. The reflection in the metal object on the right adds nice little touch. Simple beautiful photo.

I had to look at this twice - it drew me in - look at the reflection in the tub drain - to cool. It's a great picture for mounting an showing. This is a keeper for your wall at home for years to come.

nice shot but the crop might have been tighter to avoid the reflection on the right side

Baths are supposed to be happy times, give that baby some toys! Sweet nice capture of a beautiful baby.

So cute.
03/16/2004 04:55:53 PM
nice....looks like my lil godson! B&W really put an effect on him. something people never notice is the reflection or they might ding you for it, but i think that is is neat.

This is a really excellent shot. I LOVE the composition. I also love the expression. You really captured something here. The tones are pitch perfect and I like that you used black and white for this image. I think this one may take home a ribbon.

You have to smile at this - fabulous expression, great lighting although perhaps a tiny bit less on top might have improved. Love the drips!

Love the black and white. Very nice.

Cute shot. I like babies in a white background. Something about the combination is just sweet and innocent. The glare off the top of the head is a bit distracting. I can't decide if the chrome piece is helpful (with the cool reflection and helps define the setting) or distracting. I think I'd leave it.
