First Newborn Shoot

Okay, so I took this picture out of the other pictures I have and wanted to know if it looks allright to give to the parents. Should I do better on the editing or do something that else that I'm missing or not seeing?

The lighting is nice and the PP silver tones work very well with the white background. But I find the composition to be ok, I like the idea, and seen it a few times before, it's just that my attention gets drawn to the baby's left eye.

If it's possible to clone the right eye onto the left eye then it might be a bit more interested, but overall 8/10 I would say. Your PP skills and lighting is perfect, the fact that you were able to do this idea is perfect too, you just had a subject who didn't want to pose that day hehe.

Thank You

Actually the background was a peach color wall. lol So that's why I did black and white. Yeah, we wanted to try this "Famous" pose ourselves but the baby, well... wasn't having it. hahaha I think he was cold being naked lol

the room needs to be hot when you do a newborn shoot. I would make the skin smoother and more even.

I just don't know about the shot, the poor little guy looks like a fish out of water in the shot. However, I just shot my first newborn for a friend about a month ago and let me tell you its not easy, we wanted to try a shot like this and never could get him to calm down. I ended up with some shots that just didn't do it for me because his facial expressions were awful, but the parents loved them. Moral of the story I guess is that as photographers we are too picky at times. I would say try and find one with his eyes a little more normal, but if not then the parents will love it either way.
