my friend brian's lil girl and her mom

[airbrushjohn]

hello everyone and thank you for the kind words! it was a small hallway, and i had a 50-200mm 2.8-3.5 oly lens. the reason i had mom step back and blurr mom, i was thinking i wanted baby who represented the now and future, and have mom off in the background as the now and looking forward to the future kind of a family tree thing! anyway, thank you again! john

I love the light! Only, the baby seems a bit left aside, I think she doesn't get all the attention, but the different focusing adds a great effect.

It does look like mom's looking at the camera (or photographer) in the mirror; maybe it'd be stronger with her looking at the child. But I'm more interested in the stronger eye-line of the child — what's she looking at? Her mom back off-shot? Kinda? I think the photograph would have more impact if that were more definite.

I like the shot, including the Mom, she looks proud. I also love the fingerprints of the baby all over the mirror, but then you look over and see the baby so clearly.

nice reflection and cute kid too!
i wish that the mom was watching the kid but nevertheless perfect shot.

I like the fact that that you capture the shot from the eye level of the baby.. It conveys their world from the eyes of a baby... But I like to see the foot of the baby also.. It seems that to hide the edge of the mirror you crop that so tight....

Thanks & Regards
