And because it's your sister changes for a better picture can be suggested. Therefore it would've been so easy to tell her to change the baby to her left arm allowing the light to work in your favour by lighting the baby. As she shifts the baby, a little one like this who obviously is in good humour mode in your picture, could easily be changed without making him cry. As she's changing arms, you move quickly to your left! So instead of having the baby backlit as we see here, you'd have beautiful light both on baby and mother equally. This in turn would've created a much nicer photograph because of better light use. A small suggestion for the next time. :-) You are welcome. ;-) ted
