Hello from the Critique Club!

Heya treme,
My first impression of this photo was, "Cute! Very very very cute!" It definitely fits the challenge as a cliche photo!
I like the look of the baby, she looks very very joyful and happy, which is important to relay the message you are trying to give through the photo which you achieved well there. Other ways you could have achieved that, were by brightening up the photo a bit more. Perhaps making sure the letters at the bottom of the picture showed more "Thank heaven for _____(?) girls" The mess around her lips just adds to the beauty of the photo, in my opinion.

Technically, you could have added more natural light around the subject, and perhaps try putting half a finger in front of the flash to reduce the glare on the back left beside the baby's head. Another good thing would have been to not crop out the top of her head! More stuff you could have done was to put a soft coloured material behind her to make sure you catch the glare from the flash going off. The sparkle in her eyes is good, as it adds a lot of life to it! Try a bit of experimentation and messing around with levels, curves and the saturations in photoshop or whatever program you use, because that is a good way to learn.

She's very cute, and I'm sure she's the joy in your life, well done on your cliche shot, I hope to see more of your work in the future.

Those eyes are going to break hearts! You can't help but smile when you look into them, and into them you do look, not at. Cliche or not this is one beautiful and happy baby. Of course the food keeps it from being a portrait, but it is a nice photo. I really like the focus you achieved, not to sharp or crisp. Drop your crop a little at the bottom and let us see all the quote on the bib and the photo is right on.

Great close-up. Red eye can be edited in the original photo.

Nice clear shot, gorgeous eyes ! I like your composition, but the background is very distracting to me, a solid background would have made a much more impactful shot for me. Gotta be honest - the chocolate milk thing grosses me out.

What beautiful expressive eyes. A look of shear delight on her face warms my heart. You've taken a good photograph, but the checkered background interferes with your prime subject which is the baby's eyes and grin, but my eyes wander to the checkered background. Perhaps a neuteral background would have been better. Clarity is good, different shades of pink is clear and sharp, and those brown eyes are so beautiful. Very good photograph.
