This may not be my best photo of the year but it is the one that means the most to me. The model is Levi, my cousin's son. This was taken at my cousin's wedding. I don't have a large family so being there for their special day was very important and moving for me. I have a large print of this photo and despite having nowhere appropriate to put it up yet it is something that will travel with me.

Beautiful black and white tones! I'm assuming that the object in the upper left corner is a hand holding a glass (hence the title?). This is not readily apparent though, and therefore serves as more of a distraction than an enhancement. My eye gets pulled away from the main image to ponder the floating object. That being said, the image of the child is just beautiful and you achieved an exceptional tonal range throughout!
adorable. Wonderful choice for B&W- I love it. Perhaps clonning out what ever it is above the curly head would have improved it, but it is still a great capture.
simply gorgeous... love the b/w tones... im giving you a 10 as this community rates low on kids,( no offence to anyone in particular ) and this one is just brilliant.... 10
This wasn't one of my favorites of this model, if I remember, but a well done shot. I'd have cropped more off the top and cloned out that distracting element above him.
I like it better without the adult's hand in the background. I know that alters the meaning of your title, bu tthe hand just kinda floating there with no interaction doesn't add anything meaningful to the shot for me. The child is beautiful and the processing in the image is just beautiful. 7
Couldn't figure out what was in the background until I read your title. I think the image would've been a stronger one without that glass and hand. Black and white works well here, like the tonality range.
Lovely - b/w effort, subject, the globes a nice touch. I sort of actually hope this was a snapshot and converted. Either way, it was brilliant. 10/10 and my first perfect score for the challenge.
