I was afraid doing that would leave a blurry, unidentified object biting into her hand. At least with the bar, we have a little bit of context. :) I agree...up and to the right would have been better. I'm thinking that parallex got to me here. I don't remember the toy being in front of her. The camera was vertical and the lens was below and a little to the left of where I was looking. Oops. >The directional >light in Week 2 main is a bit strong for a baby portrait I think, and >combined with the wide eyes somehow makes him look a bit startled. >http://canid.com/pics/jbm_hat_1.jpg <grin> The grandparents don't like that one, either. They *especially* don't like this one: http://canid.com/pics/jbm_bed1.jpg It was taken last year, so I can't count it as part of my PAW. :) Thanks for commenting!
