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.

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.

Re: First go at a new born
Congratulations. I really like the black and white ones, particularly the 2nd. Did you lighten the shadows a little where the hands meet? It seems a bit more grainy than the rest of the picture. I would perhaps crop off some of the adult's hand to focus more on the baby holding the thumb. I like the interaction between the mum(?) and the baby in the first.

Congratulations. Nice shots. I think the B&W shots need more contrast to make them stand out. The first one in particular.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Re: First go at a new born
Congrats! I would agree with a little more contrast on the BW ones.
Re: First go at a new born
I bounced the flash off the ceiling and the lower part of the fingers are in shadow, so I lightened the image to bring them up, and lost some impact. Still learning the intricacies of photoshop.
Thanks for the comments.  Regards
