This is my beautiful daughter-in-law, Natalie, giving kisses to her 6-week old baby Jackson's teeny tiny little toes :) What a treat having a challenge I could squeeze them in :) I could not possibly love either one of them an ounce more or I would probably pop :)

Sandy,
Thanks for your comment on my on the beach photo I thought I would return the comment. Congratulations on your ribbon!! Hard to come up with anything I would change. Its really nice that you got a photo with personal mean to also place so high. Very well done. Thanks again for your comment.
Congratulations!!!! Wonderful! A mothers tenderness and love. Beautiful! What a treaured moment for that little child to see when she grows up, and captured by her grandmother. I think it should have gotten the gold.
Sandy,
This is absolutely incredible! The symmetrical composition and blur around the edges work perfectly for this shot. It is soft and sweet without loss of detail. Beautiful lighting. Love it.
So happy for you Sandy. This is a most precious photo and one I'm sure the family will cherish for years. I love to gobble up baby toes. Yum Yum. Congrats on the ribbon!
WTG Sandy, I'm so happy for you. This shot is what every photgrapher strives for, it has so much emotion. You have struck an excellent balance as it speaks with great softness yet keeps a high level of fine detail.
WAY TO GO SANDY!! Awesome Image! I was on vacation and did't vote, but this would clearly be a 10! Beautifully and skillfully composed and presented, Congratulations on your Ribbon (YAY!) And the sweet addition to your famliy!
Excellent! Congratulations Sandy! Beautiful photograph - very expressive and very well done! Lighting, composition and the black and white are all just perfect! You can feel the warmth and love in this so well. Very well done all the way around!
Congratulations, Sandy!!! I'm so happy you won a ribbon again - and what an honor to your daughter-in-law and Jackson that you did this. They must be thrilled! Whooooohoooo and way to go!
Sandy, you deserved this...well done. This is a portrait that YOU, Natalie and Jackson will be very proud of. I hope you print this on Canvas. May you get many more ribbons...
Way to go Sandy..... C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S, on getting a much deserved ribbon, for this wonderful image of Natalie and baby Jackson.
"WOW" won't your family be so proud of you.....
You just rock girl.....
ps; How in the world would anyone, give this image a "1", is just beyond me.
10 fingers, holding 10 toes, being kissed by the looks of her to be a 10. Beautifully captured moment, with excellent post processing. This has a quality to take to a ribbon. Good Luck! 10
love this shot - wonderful feeling to it, good composition. I like the post-processing, though the corners are a little too bright down by the mother's hands
wow, beautiful photo, I'd say there a chance to ribbon with this one, only thing is that your bottom right corner seems to have too big of a bright spot, maybe try dodging just a little on the bottom (toward right side) to smooth it out or something, 10
Awesome photo! I wish I could vote on it. I think the DOF on the feet and eyelashes is excellent. Only thing I would think might help would be to remove the veil or fabric that seems to be in the image. But, I'd have to see it without it to know one way or the other.
Lovely shot, though I'm not sure about the blurry corners - makes it look a bit tacky for my taste and I think the image would have been stronger without them. I like it though, and the toes are beautifully in focus. 7
This truly is a stand out from the rest of the entries. This image is so sweet and projects so much LOVE! Your compositon is excellent and the porcelain effect BEAUTIFUL. You capured a wonderful Kodak moment, one that I know will be treasured forever. I really, really, really, would like to see this ribbon!
I only gave two 10's in the challenge and this is one of them. This really appeals to me on several levels. Love the high key, love the softness, love the AWW factor, love the focus and detail. Nice job.
This is just "AWESOME" and love every inch of this wonderful image. I want to kiss his toes as well......I really hope this one is in the top ten, or even deserves to ribbon..... I LOVE it.....
WOW. Sharp and soft in the correct places for each. If you make this into a print - and I think you should - maybe clone out the white mark on the bottom nail. Otherwise this is a perfect shot.
A Kiss for 10 Toes
