Default New Parents

Would like some opinions on the crop of this photo. I wanted to focus on the baby and make the photo feel more intimate. Thanks

I love this photo. I think your crop is very good and brings the emphasis to the baby while including the parents at the same time. Great job!

I also love your black and white conversion. Can I ask what process you used?

I think the crop works very well The focus is definitely on the baby, who BTW, is very cute! I like the way the parents hands almost form a circle around him and how you've captured the loving expressions of the parents. Beautiful family shot! What are the lighting details?

Thanks. Nothing special with the B/W conversion. Converted in CS4 with a little tweek to the curves.

Natural lighting. They had a wonderful Florida room with lots of windows, they are actually back lit with the sun behind them.
