Logan, a friend's baby was being impossibly cute, so I had the daunting task of trying to capture him when he was relatively still. Too bad about the white thingy behind him, maybe it's a thought bubble?

Baby photo was my idea for this challenge too. But seeing as my baby Bear is closing in on a year old already, I didn't feel he would be seen as something "new" anymore".
Too bad that this was a Basic Editing challenge, because I think with just a touch more tuning, this could be an excellent shot (ie - bringing out those eyes just a bit with some careful dodging, taking care of the cluttered background). His expression is priceless though.
Heh! He does look ever so slightly like The Donald, doesn't he? From a technical standpoint, he's a bit unfocused (though moving kids are darn hard to shoot, especially at 1/30th of a second) and that white thing is distracting, though I very much like your rationale on that. :-) The rest of the background doesn't bother me at all - I like it as atmosphere and setting.
I love his expression, even the posture of the hands matches his eyes/mouth! The light is a bit harsh here, and the side in the shadow a bit too dark. This is a nice image that would benefit from better lighting. ~6
