Santa Baby

This is my first post in this forum. I generaly stick to nature and macro shots. However, I took this of a friend's baby, and it turned out so well, I just wanted to share.

Very sweet! I love how his blue eyes just pop and his smile and expression are perfect. Nicely done!

I am not usually a big fan of a white vignette, but wow! This really works here! I also love that the baby's blue eyes really pop! It balances out the hat- which otherwise could have been distracting, but isn't!). Great job!

Thank you for the comments.

Nice shot! Love the expression on the baby. One concern is the wood (steps) in the foreground may be a little distractive.

Looks like you're on your way to more portrait shots. Beautiful absolutely stunning. Great job.

Very nice shot, great smile! Are his eyes really that color? They have a very purplish tint (could be my monitor, though).

His eyes are really very blue. However, they were very dark in the original image. I did enhance them, and I think I did a little bit too much--I have toned them down since posting this image. I also agree that the wood (he's in a wooden wagon), could be distracting. Thanks again to everyone who has commented. If time allows, I might post a revised version of this image, and maybe another (different "pose") image of the same baby.
