Alot of amazing shots in this challenge, but this by far is the best straight forward portrait out there. No photoshop tricks (at least that I can tell) and no funny gimmicks. Just an outstanding shot and my top pick of the challenge. Bumping up to a 10. Your family will treasure this forever - beautiful.

This is emotive and powerful. I just wish the background was plain - it's distracting.

Really like this image, shows a range of emotions. Nice job :)
05/22/2006 05:02:45 AM
Great emotion but the background has some overexposure

A very nice portrait of both of you.
05/21/2006 05:50:08 AM
Nice lighting and feel to it. If only you could get rid of that background and keep it all white? Nice feeling.8

This is awesome. Good show of strength. Great self portrait.
05/20/2006 04:30:21 AM
Nicely done - the placement of the baby with its back to the camera puts the focus on your portrait.
05/20/2006 02:17:47 AM
I don't think Baby has anything to fear with you near! This is a thing of beauty. Brilliant. Great light on the skin, focus, coloring, and emotion. In my opinion the bars of light in the back take a little something away but I don't care - a rare 10 from me.
05/19/2006 10:51:21 PM
This is so cute. I love it.
05/19/2006 06:45:19 PM
I like this but a closer crop would have made this a winner...the light in the background is a little distracting and could have been cut out...would have liked to have seen your babies face as well
05/19/2006 06:44:26 PM
Dads with babies are incredibly sexy.
05/19/2006 05:28:17 PM
This is nice. Good luck.
05/19/2006 11:45:09 AM
Great picture, and what a fantastic tattoo. Both the Tattoo and your photo remind me of the 'Lone wolf and cub' manga books by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima. It all fits perfectly, 10 from me. Good luck and congrats on a such a excellent shot

Nice shot, father and son. Great tattoo as well. IMO background is a little off putting. 7

is that someone from the kazama family in tekken on your hand?
05/19/2006 06:27:18 AM
I like the way you filled the frame with you and your child..it is very appealing; you appear to have a lot of character and strength.

The background is a little distracting but still a very good shot. Good luck.

SWEET! Love the skine tones. Wish the background weren't so washed out. I want to see that baby's face. ;~D
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/18/2006 09:33:27 PM
Good focus and lighting in this shot. I like the anonymity of the baby's face turning away. The protective pose and tatoo uphold the title very well

A 10. My favorite from all the entries. It just warms your heart. Very sweet picture.
