Newborn in a jelly box - lighting

[mandyatm]

Hi! I am looking for comments on lighting. I almost always use natural light for newborns because I am so afraid my strobes will be too powerful and I will lose detail. We got a late start and this little guy took 2 hours to go to sleep, so I had to use my strobe, and I only had one strobe and a reflector with me. I think they came out pretty good, but wanted some feedback from others. Does it look to strobe-y? And I am kind of bothered by the shadow by his nose. I have not done anything to try to remove it, should I? Any comments welcome, thank you!

Actually, I think this shot looks excellent and I wouldn't change anything including the shadow under his nose. The watermark is pretty distracting but I assume that's just to protect your image for this forum though.

Thanks! And yes, the watermark is only for here.

I think it looks wonderful! The only thing I would do is clone out the few stray pieces of straw on the left hand side of the picture. Good job!

Beautiful picture, I'm certainly not an expert but I think the lighting is great.
