Very Valuedby

This is a very precious shot. I think it is definately one to treasure.
The lighting does seem bright though, since the photo doesn't have much contrast. There's not a large range of tones. You may have done this on purpose, but I think I would prefer it with a wider range of tones.
Focus does seem soft, but that does not bother me with this image. What does distract a bit is that the blanket seem more in focus than the tiny feet, which puts a little more attention on the blanket rather than on the feet. It's not a huge deal, but something I notice.
I like the angle and framing/cropping. The centered placement of the feet works for this shot. Doesn't always work for all shots, but this one it does.
What does not work is the border. I think that with such a soft, tender photo, the enormous black border kind of overpowers the subject. A small border, I think, would work better.
There also seems to be a bit of grain/noise in the feet. Not noticable in the blanket, but you can see it some in the feet. I don't really know how to fix this other than maybe a noise reduction software.
Overall a nice photo to look at, but could benefit from different lighting/contrast. Still very nice.
