My plan was a completely black background, and it looked completely black on my screen. It's a rookie mistake not checking on a different computer before turnover. A little rust from not playing much, I guess :(

I really like you're idea here and like part of the composition... the baby at the bottom of the image makes it perfect for the title. I also like the sleeping position of the baby with those precious little feet tucked under the bottom. The arm position and the sleeping face are all fantastic.

For me, what takes away from the parts that I like is the executive of a few things and some other composition factors. While the pillow may be a soft place for the baby to rest, it hides part of the baby's face, which looks a bit odd. The black sheet in the background could use a little work to make the background disappear. The foreground gray pill has some of those same issues. Perhaps using something softer, without wrinkles could have produced a less noticeable results so that we could focus on that precious baby. But just my opinions of course.

The wrinkles on the background are killing me since wrinkles are so easy to fix. You should have either:
- used a shallower depth of field.
- pulled the background away from the baby.
- modified the light so no light touched the background.
- ironed the background : )

Nice shot and meets the challenge in shot and name. i would like to see background and the pillow ironed though.

Beautiful. Such a neat idea. I would have cropped off the crampled part of the pillow or use ironed sheet to make it nice a smooth. It distracts from the baby a bit.
