My new baby(s)

This is a picture of my 6 month old son Landon. The picture was taken with my Brand new 40D, the (s) in the equation.
I took this picture shortly after I got the camera so I was still getting used to it.....I'm not shooting RAW right now because I have CS2 and Camera RAW 3.7 doesn't support the 40D and I don't really like processing with the Canon software. Any feedback or c/c would be appreciated. I have a lot to learn but I'm having a blast doing it!

As for the photo, it's more of a snapshot than a portrait, so I'm not sure what C&C you are looking for. It looks like you used the on-camera flash, which I feel is inappropriate for this type of use, because it left your beautiful son looking a bit pale. IMO, the on camera flash is best used as a fill flash in situations where you are like 8-10 feet from a back, side, or overhead lit subject.

The trick is to expose in a way that softens the light (more ambient) but still gets that sparkle in there. My personal favourite is with bounce flash, because you usually still get that catchlight, but also a nice soft quality of light. In the meantime, you might try warming the colours a bit.
And I do second that DPP is personally my favourite program for raws. If I need to retouch something cs2 is the one, but DPP makes everything simple and quick, just the way I like it 99% of the time, plus canon is slowly making it more and more powerful (lens correction, etc)
