I don't get here very much these days but I recently became a father. Here's a few taken about 10 days ago, using the D700 and 85mmm 1.4 lens.

congrats mate !! how does it feel ? still numb ? lol
the first image is top shelf. superb work.

What a beautiful baby! Congratulations!
I adore your first photo for it brings the
size the little head into context. I also
like the second very much, but if I were
you I would crop the bottom part making
it square so the attention goes directly
to the face - no distracting elements
should be allowed.

Thanks guys. Yep still feels very surreal but the sleep deprivation is v real.
He's one month old tomorrow.
LOVING it all.
Thanks for the feedback

Loving the first image.
Very nice image, great composition.

Congratulations Geoff. That first image is great, very angelic

First photo is beautiful! Cute baby but at 1 month old he should be talking and reading Dostoyevsky. My son was playing chess at 2months old...but he wasn't very smart...I beat him 3 games out of every 4.

Congrats Geoff, these are beautiful images that I am sure will be kept in many a family album for years to come

Just noticed the similarities between the first image of your baby son and your avatar. What a lovely connection!

The vignette really focuses our attention to the angelic face of the baby surrounded by the caring hands. The lighting is excellent.

I think I would prefer to have the background cushion or trouser-legs removed though. They are a bit jarring.

Lovely image.
