Sawyer, my first baby portrait

[EOBeav]

Hi everybody, I ventured into the world of baby photography a few weeks ago and wanted to know your thoughts about composition, editing,lighting, and anything else you think is pertinent.

Note: I had to use a relatively high ISO (400) in these lighting conditions as I don't have my own lighting equipment.



EXIF:
Camera Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
Exposure 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture f/1.8
Focal Length 50 mm
ISO Speed 400
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Lens: Canon 50mm f/1.4

its sweet. overall i like it.

i dont mind that the butt etc is OoF, i like the DoF... looks a little cool to me in terms of hue. did you desaturate this?

only distraction for me is that mess of wrinkles/blotchiness on the forehead. once i noticed it i couldnt stop going back to it.

Thanks for the feedback. I intentionally blurred out her rearend and feet in post production to draw attention to her eyes. I could have probably edited out those little blotches, but her mom referred to those as 'angel kisses', some naturally occurring marks that happen in birth. I thought it might be important to leave it in This little girl was only 3 days old when I took this picture.
