Nikon D700, 60mm macro lens, natural light
This little girl was one week old on the day I was asked to photograph her. But I would never have guessed she was so new, she acted like an older baby. We wanted to try the naked, sleepy, curled up, womb-like shots but little A would have none of it! Every time she dozed off and we tried to lay her down and position her she would wake up. I tried photographing her awake and curled up, but that wasn't happenin' either --- she only wanted to be stretched out and kicking! It has been too long since my son was a newborn and I had no tricks up my sleeve that worked, so sadly I only got a few of her that were even worth working on and this was one.
You captured a very tender moment very well. Two things I would like to see: one, black and white, I think would add to the emotional impact of the image; and two, some vignetting (possibly a strong one) to help direct the viewers eyes to the two faces. Nice job getting a tender moment.
