My little man, 2 months on!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
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. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

My little man, 2 months on!

Finally i have had an opportunity to photograph my little fella with my d700, He's just turned 2 months old and getting some character. Didn't get to capture his smile, but I am quite happy with this shot. This was taken inside the house, set up my white backdrop and used a white basket we were given as a prop to sit him in, only natural light used from behind me, coming through a sliding door / window. Opinions are valued!

Here is Austin.

Definitely would have gone the landscape orientation, great natural lighting and setting...

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Thanks guys, I've been listening from past threads etc about utilizing the natural lighting around especially with baby's and kids.
I wish I had done a landscape shot at the time, but with the older 3 siblings around I was trying to think quick n he the jb done, now that the kids are back at school I will have to try again!

Thanks for all your comments. :-)

Yes, especially human ones. Even some of the animals/ insect young are cute. :twisted:
