Default Babies

Hello everyone. I am new like many others who have posted before me. I am looking for feedback on this photo taken for a client. Should I have moved the babies arms or position him differently inside the helmet?I am looking to learn from others and improve my photography. Thanks!

I like the idea, but the baby looks very cramped and uncomfortable. If you can reproduce the shot, try having just the head showing and other poses as you see fit. Keep it up.

There are lot of elements fighting for attention. Simplifying the props may help to bring out the baby a lot more.

As an aside, you have misspelled "Moments" in you watermark.

I think the baby looks uncomfortable in this particular pose - the idea seems solid, however the practicality makes it less so. I am not sure that moving the arms out of the shot and into the helmet helps - a detached head out of a helmet would be a bit freaky! Perhaps a shot from above with the baby on its side curled in a fetal position next to the helmet would work?
