Got it.
Nice candid portrait. I like the lighting.

labs, there are so many adorable aspects to this picture but I wonder about his face being in shadow.

Thnxs Angelo... I was kind of stuck because there was no ceiling or walls to bounce a flash off of so I went with natural light . I am sure I can lighten it up a bit in PS..

I really like it...
the baby's expression does it for me; it's a great capture! :-)

As for the other aspects, well, the lighting doesn't really look bad, the shadows on the kid's face don't bother me. But I think the white balance's a bit too cool for my tastes. Take this with a grain of salt because the monitor in which I'm viewing your picture *really sucks*. But I really think you should give it a try at making the picture a little warmer, and see if you like it better!

Thanks so much for sharing!
Take care!

I really apreciate you taking the time. I see what you mean and I tried your advice. More times than not when I leave the white balance on Auto I get a cooler cast.. What do you think?

Hmmm...
Hi again!

Now that I'm looking at both shots on a better monitor (a calibrated one), I must say this warmer version of your shot is a great improvement in my opinion! The tones look much more natural and convey a cozy feeling.

But... as much as I *love* the result, what do you think of it? :-)

Thanks so much for the attention, and for sharing the results!
