Didn't get any responses so I had taken it off.
Thank you Neil for the welcome back.

I just wanted you to take a look at this image and tell me does she look like a new born?
She was on a week old yet I find myself thinking she looks a few months old. Is there
something I should be doing that I am not?

Thanks, gail

    Cute baby!!!! No, she doesn't look only one week but that is not because of anything you did. Very cute face ! Usually at this age they are still kinda moldable and she looks pretty filled out and not so squishy. I recall my grandson at just a few days old, his body would spring back into his before birth pose when you tried to pull his arms or legs out for a moment. This little just seems to be ahead of schedule compared with some babies. Great capture!!

    Trudy, thank you so much for taking a look.
    I look at other newborn images and thought I might have done something wrong but feel much
    relief now that you have commented.

    Peace always, gail

    Not being a fan of the "scrunched up face" newborn style, I think this is pretty spectacular! Like the lighting and the pose and most of all the fact that the face and body isn't all scrunchy.

    Newborn
    Having worked in a hospital I can tell you that babies born by c-section are much prettier that those who take the regular ruff and tumble route!! Was this newborn via c-section? Very nice pic by the way. Although I personally like to see there little feet.

    Thank you for taking a look.

    Actually this was a vaginal delivery baby. I never really thought about it before but what you are saying makes sense to me, one type of delivery verses another.

    I like the little toes to but mom wanted the booties on.
    I appreciate your comments. .

    I think it's a gem of a photo, Gail. Spot on technique on your part!

    When I mentally take off the cap, I can see the just born baby. But of course she is so cute in that cap!:D

    I think it's nothing short of perfection. It's not missing anything by not having the typical 'scrunched face' because it is your own work, and not the replicated work of a million newborn photographers. I got a tickle in my tummy when I clicked this thread and saw something a little different than the 'typical'. ...

    I also really adore that you can see some hair and that the hat isn't covering 3/4 of the babes head.

    One nit would usually be the toes being slightly chopped but with the brown booties against the brown blanket, it really isn't even that big of a deal in my opinion.

    She's perfection, Gail! I bet her parents are so proud and adore this shot. She does look a few weeks old, but it's nothing you could change...she just is a very beautiful baby. I love the way you have her posed...she looks so serene. Great job!
