This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: perhaps the arm a little lower in frame would have helped this composition wise. it feels too scrunched to the top

color:the reds are a little strong in some parts, so toning those down would help, that or converting all the way to b/w or sepia would be strong as well

contrast: good contrast between the background and the arm

focus: precise focus, and i know it must have been hard with a mother trying to hold her daughter in that position for awhile or so.

depth of field: seeing as its not a real issue for this image, i'll skip this

lighting: nice lighting, a little bright on the mothers wrist, but not enough to cause a distraction

other: overall, the parents must have been trhilled with this shot. its beautiful, and lit wonderfully. a little more interest composition wise would have really sold this for me, and as another commenter suggested, less sleeve would have been an improvement as well, great job. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.

At first glance I felt the it was to heavy of a composition, but the direction of the babies eyes creates a line perspective line to the left. I really like this piece. I enjoy the contrast between the light of innocence and simplistic contrast of the ominous black background seeping from the right but not overpowering.

A lovely baby shot. I think the black background was the right choice and the placement of the baby within the shot is good compostionally. I do think that the reds could have been toned down though, and that it may have been a stronger piece as a black and white portrait.

Cute baby! I would have liked to see a more natural position for the infant though. Lighting is nice.

I know this type of image is very trendy right now but I like it just the same.

Hmm... I think I would like to see a little more negative space above the child
