This definitely stood out in my brief previewing. For me it references old ikons and the more modern pieta by Michelangelo.

Someone thought the man looked disinterested. To me he looks truly and utterly awed, amazed by the creature in his hand and overwhelmed by what she means to him.

You was utterly robbed! Sigh....

Good shot. Nice moment and capture.

The man looks uninterested. And it bothers me... 'cause WHO could be uninterested in this beautiful creation?
Post actions
Interesting shot. Nice to see a man with the baby. His expression looks musing to brooding over the future. Not sure it is a look of pleasure.

Nicely brings out the emotion

Somehow my attention is drawn against the young man holding the baby, but in a positive way. He has a very warm, fatherly kinda look in his eyes adding so much to the main motive. Beautifull photo!
Post actions
Well captured and presented. I like out-of-the-box photos and this meets my test. Thanks for showing us something new.
Post actions
Good take. Like the fixed gaze on the baby.

i think this would have been a lot better in b&w. Interesting shot though, is he teaching the baby to swim?
Post actions
Delightful and touching father and child image. 7

This is very interesting! The brown water reminds me of India and I am wondering what he is doing with the baby......is it a religious rite of passage or just an early swimming lesson?

toning adds a surreal quality to this image

Fantastic DOF, love the use of 2 tone here. Your subjects expressions look very natural too.

beautiful capture of a moment, a feeling, two lives.

clear focus...interesting tones

I can only image what is going through the baby's head.

Cool shot, but I am not fond of either of their expressions, nor of the pseudo-sepia. Seems like color or even straight BW would have helped this.
Post actions
I think your choice of color on this doesn't do the shot justice.
Post actions
Interesting scene, and great use of lighting to really bring the baby out as the primary subject. The sepia tint seems a bit strong.
Post actions
Not sure I really like the color treatment here, but the comp and lighting work decently enough.
Post actions
I really like this capture. The tones are beautiful. His gaze to the baby and the lighting draws my eyes to the little one (who is beautiful). I love it.
Post actions
wonderful image. i would have cropped a little from the left. great conversion, I rally like the intensity

children are precious and do love the water, he seems to be concentrating

I'm not sure what the sepia toning adds here.
Post actions
Back to comment and bump: I so want the man's eyes to be in sharp focus but then they would compete with the baby instead of compliment. This tension is worth a couple of bonus points. 9
Post actions
Aw, I love it! Great shot!

Post actions
the toning is too much for my taste. also think, the man's face should be as sharp as the baby's - they seem to be separated
Post actions
Beautiful tender moment rendered in sepia.
Post actions
Post actions
Ah - a real image. Sweet relief.
Post actions
I keep being drawn to this shot. The large hand cradling the baby's head is awsome. It's difficult to read the man's expression. Is this a baptism?
Post actions
Very cool shot, something the family will treasure forever.
Post actions
Very nice tones and love the darkness of the water around the baby and not the man.
Post actions
Very sweet, love the tone and the water around the baby is incredible. Not sure about the lighting on secondary subject and the water behind him.
Post actions
Looks like an endearing family photo.

Oh my. I've been happily typing along, enjoying each photograph as displayed, then this one stopped me dead in my tracks. This is beautiful.

It's such a strange image, strange enough to stop me in my tracks. I'm not certain if this is suppose to be a tender moment or not. We see babies, and the brain automatically wants to think awwww and cuteness...but this isn't. The wee one is being held with but one hand, almost like one holds a melon. And whom I assume is the father seems bored, if he can be read at all. There is an absence of tenderness, at least the sort of the tenderness that the general audience comes to expect in a parent/child image. Very intriguing photograph.
