How do you get this pose? Not working for me!

My3Sons

I was trying to pose baby with head resting on arms, like I have seen so many photographers do. I couldn't get his head to stay upright. In this first image, his dad is holding his head upright with one finger, which I cloned out of the final image! Unfortunately, his chin is all scrunched up. What am I doing wrong? You can see his head falling over in the second image.

2. Wished I had repositioned the right hat tie too, but couldn't figure out where to put it.


Thanks for your input.

personally, I prefer babys head tipped over.. much more natural. I think you nailed it with that one

Definetly the second one for me too.

without a doubt the second one is best, amazing actually! Sometimes we try so hard to get "the perfect shot" and we miss the fact that we already have it...
