A friend wanted some hospital newborn photos taken. Here is a shot from the session. I recently got a Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art... and this thing is a beast!

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A very appealing image that meets the challenge well.

This is a lovely family moment captured for posterity and one that I'm sure the proud parents will cherish for the rest of their lives, so very well done for recording this cherished opportunity.

The light from the window is massively overexposed but needs to be to accurately expose for the most important parts of the image. This is where I think perhaps just a half stop less exposure would have brought the brightest parts on the families features just that bit further away from near overexposure. I'm looking in particular at the baby's hat, the back of his hands and his forehead, they are all dangerously close to the limit.

Your choice of aperture is giving a pleasing DOF but your focus is a little inaccurate, the lady looks a lot sharper than the man's face and the baby who feel just a tad on the soft side, both of whom are essential to have in an equally sharp focus.

A lovely appealing entry that has been equally appreciated here so well done, Sid
