 This was taken at a baby Christening. I wish I could have removed all the people from the BG but seeing as they were surrounding him there was no chance of that :( too bad... I'm guessing a 5.0000 for this one

Subject matter could work well but the composition and lighting just feels a bit too snapshot to come together.

Tough shot to expose well, with the extremes of tonality. I think I might have gone with less DOF to emphasize father and baby. Overall good shot though...

The woman blowing her nose is quite distracting.

Yes, sleeping peacefully! What kind of event is it? I feel there is a story being told and I don't know what it is. The woman with the tissue adds a lot to the scene. It's too bad that the whites of the jacket and blanket are somewhat blown out.

This photo tells a story, which is great. To me, it looks like a regular snapshot though.

The flash distracts me from the beautiful moment. A good snapshot, though.

Touching photo, but the lady in the background blowing her nose rather distracts, and certainly takes away any feeling of peace.
