Love the different point of view that you chose for this gorgeous baby shot... perfect focus and what I like best is that it gives me a different way of looking at a baby portrait.

Really lovely with the perfect amount of light on baby's cheek...

Would love to see this cropped with almost a panoramic feel to it... closer to the top third of her father's watch.

Can you see what I mean?

She's gorgeous...

I like the unconventional pose and the lighting and think that it is awesome that the model will have this to look at someday when she is perhaps not so slender or nearly as flexible. Some people have discussed the hair and I find that her hair and her anonymity are perfect, and the shadow in the background is perfect... without it, it would seem as if she wasn't grounded somehow.

Safe to say I like this shot.

Awwwwww... I really feel for your heavy heart on this story.

As a human being who was out doing your work and spraying, you did what you thought was best in moving the little ones to a place where you believed they would have a better chance at survival.

There is also the very real possibility that if they were alive two days later and then not a few days after that, that something might have happened to the mother herself, in which case nothing could have saved them.

Please don't be so hard on yourself and love this picture again. If not, their lives and the enjoyment they have brought others will not be in vain, but you will be depriving yourself of the joy of having been there to witness the miracle that they were.

She's a Gem

She reminds me of the Queen Mother all puffed up and with that peak on her head... I took a male cardinal at about forty feet away last week and was delighted to have done that well. This is a beautiful example of photography and I can't imagine improving on it in any way. Even the little branch is perfectly positioned. Bravo.

Should have been in the top five... she couldn't be more precious and everything about it is captivating me.
