This was taken for a friend of mine of her new little man. They wanted me to create unique and different birth announcements for them. I had seen this idea somewhere, and I have been trying to try it out. I\'m so glad I got to. I just love this picture to pieces! :)
Rotated a bit, cropped, USM, levels and selective desat. and I cloned out an annoying thread from the towel. Oh, and resized and added border.
*Thanks to everyone for the comments! This didn't do as well as I had hoped, but that is OK. The parents of this lttle guy loved the pic!
I wanted to also mention that I couldn't do too much with this little guy. He was only 5 lbs and very tiny. He was 6 weeks premature, and we were very careful with him, as he was only home 2 weeks before that.
At that time, I took the shots I could get.
Thanks again guys!
:)

Love this one so much, and hope do be able to take something similar next March, as our very first grandchild will be born, around the 1st March 2007.....
I don't normally warm to baby photos but this is very, very special. Well put together, soft but not soppy. The touch of blue and the label make it just perfect. Definitely one of my top picks in this exceptionally high quality challenge.
Awww nice use of selective color here. Nice sharp baby image. Your burning/editing could be a little cleaner around the head and just over his bum. But otherwise I like the compostion and execution of this shot.
fantastic use of selective desat. and very creative shot. so sweet and youve shown soem great texture with those towels. love the border matching the ribbon too. I cant say enough good things about this shot. 10
Absolutely fabulous shot! This is a terrific new baby set up. Love it! The diaper is a tiny bit blown out which catches my eye, but doesn't take away from my scoring in the least bit as everything else is perfect! Wonderful job!!!!
