Nice, I really like the 2nd one it has a much softer feeling to it.

very beautiful, i love the natural light.

thank you so much! I was pretty pleased with these...

Very nice work. I really like the second shot.

Only thing I would comment on is that the saturation looks a little high on the boy's shirt. But I am at work on an uncalibrated monitor, so I am probably wrong.

Thanks for the color comment!! I am working on a new computer and I think everything looks darker and more saturated too...and I did calibrate it, it still seems a bit off. If anyone else has a calibrated monitor please comment on the colors specifically!

Love pictures number two where big brother is only going to use one finger to touch his little sister implying her being delicate.

I think the color on his shirt is a little over saturated too.. I personally like the first one better though..it's beautiful the second the white washes out the babies face to much for my taste. both very cute though.

Very cute pics.. I agree with the second to bee too saturated. The first, did you apply some sepia tone? At least on my monitor it looks like it.. I think b&w would work better for this pic!

Did yout take them in a studio or on loactaion? What lighting did you use?

Thanks again. I will go back and reduce the color a bit. And yes, I have a chocolate action on that first one and the others like it in the series. I thought b&w would look good to, but kinda liked the extra warmth of the chocolate. It was all natural light outside with a simple black sheet as a backdrop, same with the white.

Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions! They are very much appreciated!

These are really nice. I have a calibrated monitor and I think the colors are nice. I don't personally think his shirt is oversaturated, its just very noticable against the BG, but it compliments the baby's colors really nice. I took a look at the levels and if you pull the black in a little and the white in a little is does lessen the gray of the BG to a more natural white - if that is your preference.

My other two-cents worth: I love the chocolate over BW in the 1st shot. Nice and warm. Well done, great photos.

I like the first one a lot, but I'm not digging the sepia. Maybe a little less saturation or totally desaturate it.

gorgeous shots.
