Would have better without the frame.

This is a very precious shot, but in my opinion, was really hurt by the faded white frame.

Very moving portrait, looks great in B&W. Should do good here.

Border is distracting
09/05/2006 04:23:27 PM
i think the border is distracting and would like to see up close on their intereaction

I don't care for the amount of soft border.
09/05/2006 05:09:09 AM
I think this is a fantastic portrait, but I dislike the fade-to-border.

Not sure about the vignette. Like the feel of the shot but the vignette distracts and looks too smooth. Needs more texture

Absolutely wonderful composition and I absolutely love the choice (and execution) of the BW tones. A moment worth saving! However, ahem, the border is IMO, woefully miscalculated. Terribly distracting from what otherwise would have been a memorable portrait.

very sweet but loosk too neat imaged to me. 5

Not fond of the border - it kind of overshadows the picture because it's so thick. Same thing only much narrower might work. The picture itself is very sweet - I like that the son has more hair than the father.

OK..> here we go...I want to be kind, so I will say congrats on the baby...but the photo is not good :-( sorry...

the vignetted frame is terribly distracting and the neat image has made things plastic...I am not sure, but without the frame and a better crop and no neat image, this would have been much better

The shot itself is nice enough, but yeeeeeeesh... did you really have to do that to the border?
09/02/2006 11:14:39 AM
I find the frame too wide and very distracting from the quiet mood that could be had with father and baby - the central composition is static and fighting for attention with the frame - maybe a vertical presentation or at minimum most of the right side cropped off - is a sweet picture of the two of them but the post processing and composition doesn't do them justice
09/02/2006 02:29:08 AM
I really dont like the feathered frame, it just makes the whole picture seem soft, and draws attention away from the subject, I think cropping to a portrait orientation would have been much more effective
09/01/2006 04:16:57 PM
I bet you are getting hammered for that border...
09/01/2006 06:32:26 AM
Beautiful and touching! Great job!
09/01/2006 03:09:07 AM
a nice compositon and lighting, but the poor focus really brings it down. how are you saving for the web? also, a little too much neat image.
09/01/2006 02:39:30 AM
nice shot but the border is a bit too large and spoils the shot somewhat
