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.

Congrats! I would agree with a little more contrast on the BW ones.

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. :up:
