i really like the technique you have used. your lighting makes it looks like a sculpture. i wish you had chosen a different composition. perhaps cropping out the bottom would help.
This photo is a very good idea. Light is way to harsh for such a soft subject. Would try bounce flash or soft box or some sort of diffuser over the flash or natural window light with a white cardboard reflector and no flash.
I want to like this...and from a composition point of view I do. But, the skin looks like it's rubber or plastic or something odd. Creepy looking. 5 Second pass, bumping.
lovely photo of a great family keepsake(i hope thats right...looks like a hand mold to me..sorry if im wrong). great lighting and perfect macro here but i would have cropped out the thing at the bottom. it does nothing to add to the photo and is a distraction for me. good luck
