My daughter Matilda Fey at 3 days old. Not your traditional classic baby portrait of course. I love her hairyness and wanted to capture that before it all disappeared. Not much sharp and in focus i admit. I was using window light quite late in the day on the last day of the month so didn't have much time to shoot. Plus, she doesn't stay still much at the moment.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: A most unusual and interesting baby portrait. The deep shadows and colour temperate evoke a very warm cosseted feeling and the way the light (and your processing?) catches the fine body hair / down.
Critical stuff: I do think I'm a bit conventional here and feel that better focus on the face / eye would have improved the image (despite the overall soft feel).
