Black-and-white works well here. I like the way he or she is sticking tongue out.

It would have done well in White on White as well. Pricelass expression.

This may well be the best "baby" pic I have ever seen. And the conversion makes it extraordinary (in color I suspect it is still "cute" but the b/w treatment here transcends that). This is luminous in so many varied ways. 10

The child's expression just totally makes this photo! Very nice job on capturing the eyes just right.

Very cool shot. I love the processing. I think I might have liked it even more if the hand was not in the picture actually. 7

Love love love it!!!!!! The expression is the most precious. Nice catchlights in the eyes. I really think the black and white suites this well. My favorite so far! 10

This fit in light on white very well...

Too cute, heh. I think the hand from above adds a great deal to the photo. It shows both scale and a reminder that there's more to bath time than just a soapy baby. Bath time is often times an act of great tenderness and love between a parent and a child.

Oh, and great tones, composition, and focus, heh.

Fantabulous shot. That would make anyone smile. Good luck for a top ranking, this shot deserves it!

Classic subject, wonderful eyes, and good use of high key approach. Certainly a "keeper".
