Attempt at baby shot...

[jax314]

I took this for a friend. Please let me know if the way I did the colors is effective or not for a baby shot. Also, I tried to crop using the rule of thirds, so how is the composition? Finally, I had to denoise this quite a bit...did I lose too many details throughout this process?

Thanks for all of your help!

First of all adorable baby and shot. I love a good baby yawn. I like the composition but wonder if it would be better if you did a tighter crop without the arm. The arm looks a bit awkward to me. Not huge fan of the coloring. I guess just a bit too yellow for me. Overall nice picture. TFS

I personally don't think the colourings suit baby shots. Overall, great picture there though. Brings out the cuteness and daily dose of hours of sleep the babies get.

Great shot. Love the mood of the image. The coloring doesn't add to the image for me, it's a tad distracting because I want it. I want to see the warmth of the skin tones contrasting against something. To me the image seems flat at first even though it really isn't. Hard to explain, but great shot!!!
