Yeah the rash is pretty bad, wasnt (i think) much else i could do.. Dont want to wait until it goes, as she could be a month or 2 old by then... I sorta had to go over the top just to be able to get a half decent photo, I could put the original on to show you if you like..

The second photo is the only one that screams to me to be over processed. Too bright and smooth on the skin. The straight from above angle in number 2 is also a tad awkward.

My favorite is the last one, however I wish her face wasn't so dead center. Beautiful baby though.

Newborns are tough so overall not bad for your first attempt.

The second one looks like a porcelain doll, just doesn't look like a real baby... but I love the last one.

Thanks for the input everyone, Yeah i knew i went over board but no other way as the rash is pretty bad and noticable, Hopefully it goes soon so i can have another crack at it. :)
