This is a beautiful shot, I really wish it would have won a ribbon, I like how the tone of the big hand is darker than the baby's. It seems to indicate a life that's been lived in contrast to the lighter tone of the brand new life. My only critique is the baby's sleeve, the bright white of the sleeve against the black background keeps drawing my eye up to that corner and out of the frame. Other than that I think it is a very well balanced photograph and much nicer than anything I've been able to pull off.
My PB! I am so excited to get so close to a ribbon too! I thought there would be heaps of baby toes, fingers etc. in this challenge. I was just lucky my 6 week old grandson,Cobey was visiting and my husband Graeme was home.
Thankyou for the wonderful comments and advise...I am grateful of anything!
Contrast between tiny and large, horizontal and upright, darker and lighter, young and old all do well with the simplification of black and white, and the composition makes one of the top images of this challenge.
I think everyone is going to love this, I do!
The texture of each persons's skin add to it. Alsojust the personal aspect as people relate to maybe a father or grandfather and baby! Nice work1
