Not much to this one... I was chasing my son around with the camera (again) and the sun was beating through a window at a pretty harsh angle. Managed to snap this one off real quick before Stephen continued on his way.
Cute baby pic... will probably get voted down as a result.

Very nice! Excellent tonal control, light and composition...and thank you for not going crazy with some sort of noise control, I love that I can see the texture of the skin, the slight "grain" of the background...so nicely done.
I love the glow in the eye and on the tip of the thumb. Harsh light has it's place, though some on DPC may argue. A compelling and somewhat eerie kind of shot - not in a bad way, mind you.
extra note. If you crop this pic just below the two holes in the pacified, this pic looks totally different and ultra-creepy. Good for a laugh if you like. It gets even better if you push the contrast a bit to push the shadows down.
Very nice use of your light source to capture my attentio to his right eye. Assuming that he has baby blues or greens, a colour verison would have impacted me more. The image appears a little to grainy. I like the tight off-centred crop. Good Luck.
Very strange and vaguely sinister image. The lighting is very harsh, leaving the left side of the face overexposed and the right side in deep shadow. Still it definitely has a haunting quality.
