Deb - much hope!
This is a fine first portrait which captures the little guy well.
I'd like to see all of his right ear and a tad more of his head in general but over all I think it's a lovely little portrait. A TAD more contrast would be nice too.
Well done, thanks for sharing with us!

I agree, I think it is a very nice photo. Ashton has a cute look on his face and good eye contact with the camera. I find the frame very overwhelming though - very bright and large for the picture. I like the font you used, perhaps a thinner frame?

Hi DebT, I like this composition. Looking at it on my laptop at work it does look like it could do with a little more contrast, but maybe the fairness of his hair and skin lend to this in a positive way.
Anyway, don't give up yet!!

Deb, a solid start- maybe not cut the top of the ear off?

Thnaks for looking
yes now that you have pointed it out it would have looked better with the whole ear ...and the more I look the more I think the face looks distorted/squashed because he was lying on something flat ..
OK retry coming up
