Cloning, dodging, burning, etc. to improve your photo or remove imperfections or minor distracting elements, etc. is acceptable. However, using any editing tools to duplicate, create, or move major elements of your photograph is not permitted.
A bizarre photograph, obviously 'new' and very uniquely portrayed. My critisism is only that it looks too 'photoshoped' and the eye doesn't really know where to focus.... on the baby or the bright red dots.
Babies are wonderful, heavenly things, but I"m not sure your lighting accomplished this idea. Perhaps you were trying to imitate a "womb like" light?? I would have rated this photo a lot higher with more "normal" lighting, but then, perhaps I"m not seeing your artistic intent. Just my humble opinion, no offense intended.
