The face is a touch too dark (simply because I would like to see her features). having said that, though, I imagine getting light in her face might have wakened her, and as the mother of a 4 month old, that is not a cool thing to do. Beautiful child, peaceful picture. Well done.
would love to see her face better - tad too much contrast for me. I'm sure you wish the blanket was covering the handle too. Looks like you have an angel among you though! :)
The composition, contrast and textures are very nice here, but it really needs some more of baby's face (almost entirely hidden in shadow. I can make out most of her nose and a little of her mouth, but her other eye is just not showing). Increasing the gamma to 1.3 might work, but would take the edge off of the blacks and reduce the apparent contrast. Maybe it would work high-key. Best bet would have been to reflect or shine some light onto her face.
Sweet baby! Baby shots can be really tough. The problem here is with lighting, not enough on the front of the face. I used an external flash with a micro softbox for a similar photo and got very good results on most shots.
I want to see Hannah's face, a white card on the left of Hannah would reflect just enough nlight back onto her face to add some pleasing detail. I am glad I took a second look at Hannah from home, the sharpness is awesom, but I still feel more light from high left would work great. I'm rating this higher.
Very nice photo! The composition here is great... The lighting is a little strange and *my* preference would be to have a little more light on the face... good shot, however!
