Any recommendations on how I can make this pop before I give it to her mommy? This is my first baby feet. C&C welcomed as I'd love to correct anything I should...

I dont know if you really need to change anything. To me I like baby pictures to be softer and more ethereal. I like it as is.

Aye... I hate to say this... But I'm giving my honest opinion.

Since the focal point is baby's feet... I think the light should fall on the feet... and the feet should
be propped up a little higher so the entire heel and everything is the forefront of your frame.

The way this is currently lit.. my eye immediately goes to the baby's chest, then face. The feet are an after thought as my eye travels the image.

I understand having baby's face in the BG and blurred out... but also think the feet need to make more af a statement in the image and to command more of the viewer's attention...

Just my 2-cents... ;)
