I shot my nephew (hey, that's funny!) on Saturday specifically for a baby announcement card. I'd could use some feed back on the three variants below, particularly any additional PP suggestions. I happen to like the BW best, and I think the negative space lends itself to the text that will be used. Thanks for looking!

I like #3.
You can use type with a drop shadow and blur the part behind the text a little.

Oops … I just realized his name was Oliver. But here's a thought in visual format.

Great, thanks for the input and sample edit. I'll get the text from my sister and post an example tonight. Appreciate the help, Ben

Hey Ben, redo #1 with more detail in the rest of the image. #3 hasnt lost the detail in the BG, but the shot may look nice in B&W. Its a great shot btw.

I really like the shot... those crooked, relaxed lips... :) I like the color more than the black and white... it shows the skin better and the lashes, for a birth announcement. I think folks really want to see the real baby...

AND you'll be all practiced up for your next one! :)
