 Basic editing of course, then the smoothing of the imperfections in the skin (babies tend to have little bumps) cloning tool used. Used a lighting technique of using a gold reflector to just wash over the side of the face giving a twilight glow.

Too soft, too smooth, and too much of that neat-image feel.

This looks a little overprocessed to me and it is a bit of a strange angle. OK.

very soft lighting works well with this shot. Also like the color treatment. Maybe moving just a bit more to the right would have been better, but it looks like you were in tight quarters. Still a good shot!

Very nice photo, when they are a sleep, they are a sleep. I am not sure about the feathering affect around the face. To me it should be sharper. 7
