Okay, most of you probably realised this is two images combined. I took this shot of a friend's baby a while back. I think it is a great shot. Between the baby's knowing look at the camera, the look of pride on dad's face, and the grip he has on his dad's shoulder, I think this is one of the strongest images I have taken in a long time.
The background in the original was set in a kitchen and once I decided I was going to use this image I started looking for something better to use as a backdrop. The sunrise works well I think, and it is believeable as a background.
Hopefully people will see this as on topic, I think it really conveys the message well.
No doubt there will be some strong competition so I don't expect to win, I am just really pleased with the way this has turned out.
Alot of work in photoshop went into this image, too much to document here I think. But basically it is two images stuck together.....

Nice warm feeling to this image. Beautiful focus on the baby. Smile in daddy's face... Looks like real shot too. One of my favorites in this challenge.
