Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: N/A, image is monochrome.
Brightness and contrast: Image is well lit. Contrast is good, highlights and shadows both hold good detail.
Focus and depth of field: the plane of focus may be a bit off, or depth of field made deeper. For the current depth of field, the plane of focus is a bit too far back, as evidenced by the softness of the baby's fingers on her right hand.
At first I was unsure as to whether I liked Mom in soft focus. In a way, it seems to diminish her role. But at the same time, it helps say that this is not a snapshot. That being said, it would have helped to comb Mom's hair. That does say snapshot, and the heavy strand of hair, distracts attention away from the subject. If depth of field were shallower, it might soften it enough to overcome. But at f/1.8 I don't think you could get much softer, not matter what lens you used. Perhaps the other answer is to darken the background even more so it is less competitive.
I like the pose. A very peaceful moment for mother and child. The child obviously feels very secure as evidenced by the relaxed position of the hand, and calm look on the face. |

Honestly one of my favorites in the challenge...baby in real life. These are the images to be cherished.
"looks more of a snap than a well thought out image in my opinion"
I disagree with this being a "snap"...why must every photograph be well thought out and planned to some people? What ever happened to the decisive moment? What happened to real life?
Ok...I won't begin a rant under this lovely real life shot...thanks for sharing this. |

| I like the layers of meaning here, with the baby as the attentive focus, and the mother shadowed incidentally in the background. The simple title suits it well. |

| The way the mother(?) is nicely OOF in the background is a great contrast to the baby |
