Baby Photographs - Jacob

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

These are the pick of my first attempts at some 'printable' shots of my month old baby boy...

Some PP has been done in Lightroom.

Fantastic shots Dan...what a gorgeous boy you've got. I can't imagine how many million photos I will take when our time comes! (no, Bel's not pregnant yet hehe).
These both look a tad under exposed on my (calibrated) monitor and I'd like to see a bit more saturation in both. Keep em coming, and congrats mate, is this no.1 ?

congrats on the boy first of all mate. like you said, lotsa work but worth every second.
i think the first one looks good, i agree with Geoff, the second is a tad underexposed. nothing a quick curves bump cant fix. looks like your light source is behind his face, maybe is you spot metered off his shadowed face it would have bump up your exposure a little...couldnt you get him to co operate and turn around ? lol :P

they are quite desaturated, not sure if that was your intention or not. personally, i quite like it.
