 I've done well to only submit 2 previous of our son Alfie. This was a quick snap while out shooting for the trains challenge.

this is an excellent shot...your composition is very well done...and the blues are so very vibrant without being false...

The blue of his eyes is so striking that it prompts a closer look, but on further inspection your processing is a little clumsy. The blue in the left eye (the baby's right) has crept out of the iris. If you had been a little more subtle with the colour enhancement, I probably wouldn't have noticed it.

The composition of the image is really nce.

There's a lot to like here, but just a bit oversaturated for my taste.

Eye color so strikingly different from normal that the resulting image is rather disturbing. Was that boosted in post processing? I wonder if a different blanket with less prominent texture would be an improvement.

I think a little less blue in the eyes would have been better?

A solid image that is properly framed and composed with appropriately detailed subject matter - a couple of minor technical issues like the reflections in the eyes and the soft fade on the right do not impact the image in a major way - a technical success with minor flaws. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal other than the "baby factor". A good entry into the challenge.

Love the eyes but would of been a touch better if the whole face was on focas.

great crop.
but it's a tad to soft for my eyes and the blue in his eyes is a tad overdone, IMO
