I like everything about this except..... the lighting is a bit too much. Still giving it an 8. Good job.

Beautiful tones, the shadowing adds to the "feel" of the photo. Nice concept for this challenge.

light just a bit too harsh. good soft color tones.

This is perfection if I have ever seen it. Congrats!

So sweet - and yes "touching" _ physically and emotionally! Excellent, excellent.

Very good. The lighting on the fingers is perfect.

very good, up close and personal, great fit to the challenge. I think some light in the eyes would have made it perfect. 9
Post actions
Good lighting. The highlights are a tad too high for my tastes. Wonderful image.
Post actions
This is a beautiful photo. The only suggestion I would be to try to capture the childs eyes completely closed, or try to bump up the fill light just a bit. Not being able to see the open eyes conveys a sadness instead of the warmth that the rest of the picture emits. Excellent work.
Post actions
Absolutely beautiful, I love the shadows, that accentuate the baby's chubbiness, and his/her expression. 10
Post actions
Fantastic! Very "Touching" in every sense of the word. One of my faves this week!
Post actions
One of the best photos of this kind that I've seen. The only distraction is how bright that ear and cheek are, but the shot still looks great. Very nice job.
Post actions
What a beautiful photo that really portrays the challenge wonderfully.
Post actions
Color tones are warm and soft, A trifle bright, but any darker and I guess part of Baby's face would be lost. Lovely photo.
Post actions
Simply Beautiful!

Beautiful baby, nice lighting. Good job.

Great Sepia picture. Very nice lighting and soft focus

Too much neat image or diffused glow......almost surreal.

What a great photo for the family album... Well lit, although I would have liked a little bit of fill light from the front.. 8
