I think this photo would be great without the selective softening. Such a cute capture!

I like the effect with this, is it lensbaby?
Post actions
Cute baby - I might have cropped in a bit tighter on both sides and not have gone for the blur effect - I think the baby and the bucket would make the shot without it.

There's a baby in my bucket , dear Henry, dear Henry,.........

Now that is too cute! Nice shot!

the eyes are great but the short focus detracts
Post actions
Lensbaby?? Cute shot, but I would prefer more of it to be in focus.
Post actions
Bucket a bit to blurred but good idea.

Not sure about that expression - very nice use of shallow DOF - I normally don't like blurry foregrounds, but it works in this one.
Post actions
I'm sure you're very fond of this moment captured in your picture, but IMHO the feet are really distracting.
Post actions
Cute picture, but I think the blur takes away from it. Could be much better with different post processing.
Post actions
cute shot but the added blur is overdone
Post actions
nice idea, but i would like to see the whole kid sharp.
Post actions
Oh poor baby stuck in a bucket. (jk) Nice focus to draw out the subject.
Post actions
the dof seems too shallow
Post actions
:))) that unsharpness made me laugh coz little one looks even more like midget :D

Reminds me of a couple of photos we shot of my twin grandkids when they were little. We have photos of "Baby in a box" and "Baby in a bag".

Wonderful portrait. A real gem!

Interesting effect but not my thing :(

I'm not a fan of the selective blur you've used here, sorry. She/he is cute.

Lol! Very cute - love the title, too.

This is so very delightful. I hope this has a place of honor in the family photo album, or better yet, framed and hung on the wall.

definitely a unique potrait, but it does not look too flaterring to the subject. Also crisper focus on the eyes would have been more effective.
Post actions
I think I would prefer this photo without the softness.
Post actions
Slightly different, quite amusing :)

This is so weird and funny and wonderful. 10

Good lensbaby shot, adorable child!

I love the face and the scene... but there's just too much blur... not enough DOF to make this a high scorer, in my opinion.
Post actions
Cute. Q little too much blure for my taste.
Post actions
very cute. personally, i'd like it more if everything was in focus, but that's just personal preference

Interesting processing on this. Direct lighting is a bit bland but it's still a decent portrait.
Post actions
Hmm, the blur is not realy my taste. Looks like a snapshot to me.
Post actions
Awww. hahah. A little to much of the out of focus parts but I love the story and expression.
Post actions
This is almost a 'lensbaby effect', although to be honest, to my eye it certainly looks like it was done in post processing.
Post actions
Great DOF. Clever shot. Well done.
Post actions
I think there's just a bit too much soft focus going on. What a little cutie, though!
Post actions
how cute, reminds me of when we used to bath in small metal portable tub thing at my grandmother's
Post actions
what a cutie, doesn't look entirely happy...your gaussian blur is just a tad to strong....
Post actions
Post actions
I would have liked this better if the blur had been left alone instead of being obviously added later.
Post actions
too blurry, try sharpening it
Post actions
very cool idea, the crop on the bottom is a little tight, great expression on the face.
Post actions
Post actions
The feet sticking out..too cute!
Post actions
That's a fantastic title. I think it's a great moment that you captured, but I don't really find the image that captivating. I also wish you had given us a 720 version.
Post actions
Nice job on the blur and your photo.
Post actions
Not sure about the Shallow DOF, to be honest
