Thanks for looking.

Hi

Number 2 is precious, and it's my pick.

Number two is my favourite too. I would love to see it with a darker background and then i think it would be prefect, but it's really really nice. Great job!

I like them all but I particularly think the last one is great

Numbers 2 and 4 for me. Love the facial expression in the last. The first doesn't seem an entirely natural facial expression, and I'll admit, I'm not much a fan of tilted pictures.

Hi Phoenix, will take note on the 2nd pic making the background a tad darker.

It's a coincidence that I managed to captured this shot of a friend's newborn during my holiday trip.

Hi all,
THanks for the constructive comments. Really help

Ooops...missed out this one, Marvin.

The little girl was playing with the horsie toy and definitely a candid with a slight movement at her left eye! The expression does look a little unnatural but it's definitely a candid.

Thanks for your comments......

Another thing is I initially tried the full colour and BW version but both didn't really pull my attentions. So, I tried the selective stripping of the background colours to catch the eyes of the viewers.

Any comments on this method? Pros and Cons?
Cheers again

I like them all! Specially because getting children to look natural is so difficult and you need to be ready and watching for that magic moment. However, I think your last picture could do with a little more contrast.

the last one is my pick. It's great - bright, cheerful and cheeky!

Beautiful series of shots. Can't go past #4 as a favourite..
