Too cute, you did well. She is going to be popular around here. She has such wonderful hair, and the cutest little face.

Love this shot. I'm sure the baby felt safe and secure. I've seen similar ones where the baby's sleeping tummy down on a single hand showing the bicep. Hope you try that one as well. Wonderful keeper.

What a sweet bub. Kind of strange how the mans arms seem like they are cut off though.

It's fun, funny, even beautiful. Do dismembered arms holding a baby suggest protection? I don't know...

Just having fun. It's cool.

Wow just for the fact that only the arms and babe are visible, certainly grabbed my attention on viewing.

Sweet image. Although I'm finding the disembodied arm rather disturbing, as the black t-shirt is such a clean line as to make the arm look severed.

I wish you would have left a bit of definition on the black shirt to separate it from the background because without that separation, it looks like the baby is being held by two severed arms. : /
