Now I know what it feels like to be old and abandoned. Well done.

At first I dismissed this, but as I search there is so much going on, I feel as if I am in the crowd. (like the vapor trails as well)

Comment by spiritualspatula:
The random heads obscure all attempts at story telling and the viewer's yearning to feel a part of the scene.

Comment by Melethia:
I really enjoy the faces in this, particularly the little girl and the gentleman watching her. Do wish you were just a tad taller, though, to shoot over the obstruction on the right!

Comment by PaulFrocchi:
the beauty of this photo (as I'm sure it is for many) is the interaction of the father and daughter in the rear of the frame. Priceless smiles all brought on by 'the entertainer'...

thanks all for your comments, really appreciate it.
I will take all your points and try to bare them in mind next time.

paulbtlw: the image is taken in RAW but not sure about the bit depth.

Nikolai was around 6 weeks old when i shot this picture.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Awwww...and this from someone who is not a fan of babies!

Very cute studio shot, love that the baby is still small enough to fit in the lightbox and stay on the fleece you put down for him. I am impressed that you got away with an ISO of 50 and only 1/160 for such a squirmy subject. The lighting is just right for this shot, no glare or overly harsh shadows. Composition is fine for this portrait. The b/w is an interesting choice, but it works.

Overall a very sweet image, the expression is wonderful and he looks happy and relaxed. What more could a baby want?

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan
