This is my first time trying a photo challenge so I suppose I will learn as I enter more of these.

So incredable that you could see it in a magazine or framed on your living room wall.

    Welcome!!!Great start!! You may want to add some spacing between the pictures. At a first glance the last two seem to run into each other.

    wave.gif Hi Jenny. Playing in Challenges is stimulating, isn't it?

    I like your idea. It's hard to go wrong with baby feet. I do find your image a little confusing, visually, not sure where to look first, no single box seems to really dominate. I also find the thumb crossover between the second and third boxes to be distracting, not sure if that's delieberate or not. You've made a great start, maybe play with it a little?

    I agree with judyfuess. Try adding a bit more space between the photos.

    Like the others have said, more spacing between the photos would do a great thing to those pictures. I love the pictures though. Also maybe having a background to the pictures, probably the grey that surrounds the middle picture. I think it would look alot better once a few changes are made.

    Hi Jenny.. big welcomewave.gif lovely little feet... kiss kiss.. I agree with Wxwx and the others that space between would isolate each shot and bring more focus..
    Nice to have to with us.

    I think I'm going to add a border to seperate it from the rest of the page

    Hi Jenny,
    I like this set a lot better! I love the expressions, Great Job thumb.gif . The top two pictures look like they are overlapping, you may want to try to spread them out a little.

    Beautiful baby!

    My suggestion would be to place the top photo on the bottom, middle becomes top and bottom the middle. I am thinking that the smiling photo is the feature photo and therefore in the middle would be great. I would move the other two to have the baby looking into the center photo.
    Can't say for sure it would be better, but that is what my instinct says.

    Its really nice - something to fram and keep for sure.

    Thank you for your insight. I have thought about switching the pictures, maybe I will just for kicks and giggles and see how it looks. I like how it is now b/c it is a progression of her smile, and reaction to me. However, I really like the idea of the smile in the middle because artistically it is the eye grabber. hmmmm.......... this is one to ponderheadscratch.gifne_nau.gifheadscratch.gif
