My photography has been a little single minded lately - but I hear that I've only got about 2 years to photograph the young one before he learns that cheesy smile.

Feedback appreciated.

I did feel a like bad dressing him up as santa. But he completely owned the look.

Hey Andy,

Good to see you posting some more :) I really like the eye contact in the first one, shame the vertical slats weren't a little skinner as they frame the image well but you lose a fair bit of Oliver. I also like the last one, although its a little cluttered and a closer crop might help it shine a little more.
#2 might look good as a black and white have you tried it ? and #3 looks like your putting the new flash to good use, the lighting is great as is the expression.

Well we didn't have photography in mind when we originally bought the cot :D

The flash (SB600) hardly leaves it's shoe. I've been blasting holes in the roof with it. I have found it has helped immensely since most of my 'work' is indoors. The challenge has been not to give everyone white faces as I am sticking to manual control bounce for now - so I do capture the occasional ghost.

I will definitely try #2 as B&W and see how it looks.
