Great capture - not at all too personal. This is a good shot that captures some of [your son\'s?] character at the same time as meeting this challenge brief. Excellent composition and DOF - good use of mono. [9]
Image wise - B&W does give this a certain something but the softness makes the effect lose impact. With the tight DOF I appreciate that the hand and pole would be OOF but the face IMO needs to be sharp and crisp.
A wonderful capture of emotion and the composition is spot on. The tight crop does not reduce the quality of the photo. The border does nothing for me though and it competes too much with the top of the head (8)
While the subject matter suits the challenge really great I think the picture could have technically been a little better. The forhead and parts of the cheek are too blown out.
YEAH!! What a happy baby! So sweet! I had this same idea too but my son would NOT co-operate! He loves to smile but it's a cheezy type when he sees the camera.
As for this shot, the black and white work very well for this shot, the top of the head seems just a tad bright and glares a bit on my screen but the overall lighting is very well done, I love the shadow that falls across the face and hand. I'm starting this shot at an 8 and will be back to admire some more!
