    What a great idea for a birth announcement. I love the baby lying on your (?) arm. Little ones are tiny for such a short time it is easy to forget how really small they are at birth. It is a lovely photograph. You and your family will treasure this.

    Congratulations to all!!!

    great shot and very precious.

    However, I do have a little nit - there's a light spot in the bkgd near her rear that makes it look likes she's got a bit of a tail. Think you could use that as an excuse to work on your photoshop skills and clone it out?

    congrats on the new addition.

    ADORABLE!! One suggestion...maybe you could clone out some of those wrinkles on the backdrop?

    Did not see it looked so bad..... Turned up the brightness on the monitor and all the wrinkles showed up. Opps
    Painted over all the wrinkles with a black brush. Here is the after

    Great job Jay,
    What a beautiful baby. The second one is definately a keeper.

    Excellent shot!

    Just one other tip - I often keep a small cloth of the same color as the backdrop around. You can drape it over the extra hand, the mother, all sorts of useful things that save you time in photoshop later.
