A lovely and touching image. I woud suggest a gamma adjustment as some of the delicate tones are repressed right about the 4,5 and 6th zones. However, you get a lot of credit for the great subject matter and composition. Bumping to 7 on that stare.lol
The sepia toning is a little overdone. I'm not sure that I get "authority" from this picture either. It seems like yet another "take a picture of a kid, or your pets and try and squeeze it into the challenge by inventing a suitable title".
Does not fit the challenge well - the title only makes things worse, as a mentor is usually an older person, one to follow. a baby is certainly not that! The sepia tone loses me too.
Nice capture - but I'm not sure that this sepia tone works. It's just not flattering - makes the baby look a bit jaundiced. Maybe straight b&w would be better. Also, would be improved if the baby's face did not have the hot spots.
Nice shot. The link to the challenge theme is poor (to me anyways, I also get that allready for my submission but I guess we all have different interpretations). Something about the color seems off (I also got that a lot on a previous submission).
