    Out of this two I'd opt for the 1st one, yet it still has a lot of snapshotty feeling to it...ne_nau.gif
    At least the b/g must be cleaned..

    I really like number 1, it made me laugh as soon as I saw it...I really like the baby t-shirt too, almost like Daddy needed instructions...Baby is saying, glad you got the hint..Laughing.gif...I would have to say that the background needs to be calmed down a bit, to keep the focus on the subjects, you want the eyes fixated on them and not roaming...I also like the skin tones on this, and the interaction between the two...

    Like number 2, but being a female I would say clean up the fingernail...

    Best wishes and good luck on whatever you choose...

    I'm bias against cutesy subjects: animals, babies, most flowers, and sunsets. Those subjects seem too snapshoty. How about try using a more shallow depth of field to reduce that snapshot feeling or different color design?

    Nice fix of the background in #1. Both photographs are great for the challenge, IMHO, but I prefer #1 because there is more showing of the interaction, which gives it more emotional impact. The joy is flowing two ways. Beautiful boy you have.
