My syster's newborn daughter, 18 hours old, holding on to her mother's finger. So far we've called her Isabella (since we knew of the pregnancy) If that will be her name hasn't been decided yet, but I like it very well.
I guess the photo won't be rated too good, but for me it's one of the most precious photographs I've ever shot =)

I like this shot. It seems slightly, fractionally overexposed towards the top left, not sure if that was the effect you were going for. I like the title with the baby holding the finger. It adds something extra to the shot. Oh yeah, very cute baby as well

This is adorable, I like the way the baby is grasping the adults hand, and the intent look on the baby's face as if it is listening with a great deal of interest. The miracle of life always makes me happy and to see it displayed like this is wonderful This is great ( 9 )

A photo filled with warmth
But I feel that cropping away a little of the right side would be better
Still a good photo

Ah, a favorite book of mine, always brings tears to my eyes. But this picture stand well on its own, and fits well with the title, It captures the intense look of a baby and the feeling of love and nostalgia that a parent gets holding that little hand. The hands are an important part of the piece - a contrete connection between the parent and child that is also an abstract connection you can see in the child's eyes. Perhaps the hand should be in focus too. I wish there was more definitiion in the baby's clothes, so we could see the soft texture, rather than just the bright whiteness which makes the babt's head seem like it is floating, not connected. Still brings tears to my eyes to remember...

The toning is good. The idea is good. The focus is good. I don't like how all the white is blown out. There should be a lot of texture in there that I'm longing to see.

Aww what a sweetheart. Gorgeous baby, well composed - I like the fact that the clasped hands are in the image, gives another focal point and adds interest. I do wish the white wasn't so stark, really distract for me, perhaps a softer light would have played up the white and created a better foil for the child's skin. Nice work. 6
