Yay! Congratulations! Welcome little guy. This shot is tremendous - a breathtaking moment captured. I hope this is scoring well for you. Back to comment and bump you up to 9.
My goodness, what perfect timing! Considering how quickly you must have had to take this, I think it is absolutely amazing. Are you proud parent, or hospital staff?
This may not be a "DPC friendly" image... no stunning sunsets, rich saturated colors... but it is a perfect entry for this challenge and I like it. It would be interesting to see it cropped much tighter, to leave out the adult to the left... would have weird, chopped-off hands holding the infant but it might be interesting anyway, or maybe not.
That's very cool for this challenge. I would like to think the baby is a new relation to the photographer and would hate to think the photo was staged but I think not...8
Wow you have to be the winner for this one. This to me is a perfect example of what life is all about. Good luck to everyone else trying to beat this one out. Awesome shot, and congrats on the new boy.
I can't imagine there are any better representations of the challenge than this! Congrats both on a great shot and for the new addition to the family, if it's yours!
