Here's my take on this image (of course take it for what it is). The "Cute" photo is a bit soft. The eyes are amazingly rich and wonderfully rendered. While the aim of this challenge is to provide a Light on White, I think you've exceeded it just a tad and as a result, had almost blown out some finer details. I think if you used curves then this image would pop. As it is, it's simple and meets the challenge. I would probably just prefer a bit more DOF. |

Ok, here's my takeaway from Light on White. The winners were not scared of using black. They did not boost their levels to make the picture whiter than it already was. It was already white to begin with. Your baby, and my rock salt, used the second technique, and I think this was what the voters did not like.
I'd also go for more DOF. I'm not a good portrait artist, but I tend to like the whole subject in focus. His feet get lost and the diaper blurs with the background.
Take it all with a grain of salt since I finished, what, about 10 spots higher than you? |

The poor little guy is purple. I suspect there was a-little too much color balance adjusting |

beautiful baby, gorgeous eyes, my only gripe is the purplish tint from either the lighting or processing |

I would have liked more shadows in this picture, perhaps less lighting. |

Look at those blue eyes!! The lighting is a bit harsh. Was this an on-board camera flash? Still I like the skin texture and those blue eyes. 6 |

First off I like the photo but in my opinion I think the flash is a little harsh |

I don't like the effect of the lighting or post processing on his/her skin. Pretty blue eyes though. |
