What a cutie. I think the WB and his skin coloring are a little off, was this a jaundice baby? If the blanket had pushed down a tad to have his right eye completely in #2, that would have been great.

In addition, its always good to cover the diaper. It just takes so much away from an otherwise fabulous shot. Agree with Lori on the blanket as well...and maybe just a tad bit of skin smoothing would benefit? Just a tiny little bit.

Here is another edit from the shoot. This one on black..

Levels, Eyes, Skin (slight tweak in Portraiture).
Prior ones were straight from Lightroom.

Oh yeah - mom and the diaper. You can tell them that it wont look good, but???
Where do you get plain white ones anymore?

Thoughts?

Ahh, heehee, lots of places to get plain white ones. Target is even starting to carry some...but if you google "white diaper cover" you'll get lots of results. I'm learning to politely tell them that I've got a clean cover here...would they rather focus on their baby or advertising for the brand diaper the baby is wearing?

The skin smoothing....almost too much on the face...its starting to look plasticy. And although its not calibrated, the cheek is looking a tiny bit yellow on my monitor still. This is a cute baby. Would you be offended if I tweaked just a smidge?

Tweak away. At 72DPI, I'm not sure you can make it out but there is a ton of detail left on the original. Unfortunately, it is 16Megs!!

Ok, give me a minute here and I'll show ya what I was thinking. ;)

Doodlebunz, I love your edit. I can see the yellow giving problems.
