Lovely and mysterious - good job to both of you. I really like the way the shadows are playing here.

the only thing I'd consider changing is the highlight on her hip seems a little bright compared to the rest of the photo. I prefer the tones in her arm.

Keep it up :)

Wonderful picture, you continue to be one of my favorite photographers. You work is truely great.

The only thing I wan't so keen on in this picture was the black background. It seemed to blend a bit too much with her outfit and made it feel a bit more like a stage shot.

I didn't get a chance to vote on this challenge but I would have voted this one highest. Congrats on another ribbon!

Well the baby is very cute and delicate.

I gave it a 4 though. Some of the things that caught me were:
It's pretty high contrast. With it being so starkly white and black it makes the image seem colder overall. With greater tonal range and smooth grays I believe it would have felt warmer.

I'm not sure if you removed the background but the area of the hat over his head looks blurred or smoothed or something. There's a loss of detail on that edge.

The thumb also has an odd slight focus issue, perhaps a motion blur? Overall the rest of the image is very crisp and clear - perhaps a little too crisp in spots. With the lint and textures of the blanket especially by his mouth it seemed almost gritty and harsh where I'd expect softness in a picture like this. Again the contrast didn't help with this either.

And lastly is the shininess around his eye I found distracting a bit. That is a very tiny baby so I understand it's natural so not a huge deal, but thought I'd point it out since it did stand out to me.

Compositionally I think it's pretty nice, the hand does a very good job of conveying the scale of the tiny baby. I think it would have been better if you were a little higher looking more down at the baby though. It would have just furthered the feeling of small delicate size in the picture.
