The lighting looks okay if a bit flat (but I don't usually mind flat lighting for babies), but I'm not big on the processing. It looks overdone to me and I'm not a fan of the yellow hue.

What a cutie!

I love the expression on his face! And the way the toning really brings out his nice baby blues. That being said, in my opinion the background and skin color are a bit close together for my liking. I would like to see the background a little different to really bring him out. Being a primarily child photographer myself I love the capture!

Hello there,

I love your photo but I cant really critique as I'm still learning.

Am I allowed to ask you how you did your post processing effect it looks fantastic. How do you get that beautiful skin and perfect eyes.

I'm not quite sure if this question is within the rules.

thankyou
