Is there something wrong with this image?

Sorry for doing this.... but there is something about this image that im not quite sure about, I dont want to ask specifically because I want to see if anyone else notices it or not first. I know lame but Please let me know your thoughts on the subject and any overall critiques.
Thanks in advance.

I am not skilled enough to comment on the photo... but to be its a very beautiful photo.... I loved everything about it.

Thanks for sharing.

Keep in mind that I'm really tired as I'm writing this, but to me it looks like the hand supporting the babies head is in an impossible position. I don't see any way that that hand could be there without us also seeing the arm in the back of the photo.

Then again, I might just be really tired...

I really like the lighting and tone though.

That was my first thought too and where is the arm that is attatched to it it just seems to be in a weird position .

[DanaD]

Bingo! I guess that was an easy one : )

The image orignally had just a small portion of the missing arm and the rest was his white shirt. So I guess specifically is this picture worth delivering as is or only if I am able to clone in an arm?

Thanks for the kind words and honest critiques!

You could always add an arm to the shot.

I did this super quick after the pain meds have kicked in, so its just a fast feeble attempt.

i like the technique and the lightning... i'm not sure its just me too much of gothic movies and songs these days because i feel that this picture is a bit morbid...

I didn't notice the arm as much as the angle of the baby's head in relation to it's body. It seems unnatural or in the least uncomfortable.

I don't see this at all. This is a common pose among newborn photographers. I am curious the see the original image with the arm not cloned out. If I'm being picky, the only thing that bothers me a little is the diaper. I think newborns photograph much better with no clothes or diapers.
