Neighbors new baby - I got to be in for the delivery!! Figured it made this 'contest' since she ups the population of the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan by 1 more :)

Wow, what a bunch of closed minded voters. Some people cannot handle the process of life. I have delivered two babies at home, and I really appreciate this shot. To bad this did not get more respect. I would have at least though langdon would have gotten it.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this is a 'city' hospital. If this is your child, C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! ! As a photo though, I have to say you cropped the top a bit too close to the finger and the horizon is sloping heavy to the left. Alos the hand(?) in the upper right corner distracted. (I know, I tell you you cropped to much from the top, then too little... No one said I had to be reasonable :)
I guess it wouldn't be a challenge without a baby shot. Well done, but maybe a bit more than I would have wanted to know......Color is excellent, as well as focus, framing, etc. (then there's the "would I want this shot hanging on my wall" criteria, answer: no, sorry) Photo 7 City (pushing it, right) 5 total 6
You really should have saved this photo for a challenge more befitting. It's a great picture but it really does not meet the "city life" challenge. It's a big stretch and you'll receive bad scores because of it.
Excellent – What an interesting choice. Hospitals are in every city, babies are in every hospital . I would have cropped it above the hand but that might reveal unwanted area as well. Good color, focus and framing.
It's almost refreshing to see a non-angelic baby photo here for a change. It's a good photo even if the subject isn't very appealing, and it addresses the "life" part of the challenge really well.
