Did I get it right this time??

My newphew...he'll be a month old tomorrow. I posted some yesterday and the cc was that the conversions were flat...well I tried again today...are these better? Lemme have it..what every ya got lol I want to figure out how to get this right!

Well, the contrast is much higher giving it a hard edge... which, IMO can either make or break the photo. In this case, I think it 'could' have worked, but the image is missing something... In any case, did you know you have a dead pixel?

I think the dead pixel is actually fuzz. He is laying on a black fleece blanket. There were spots all over like this I just missed these I guess when I was fixing it.

Lemme know if you decide what it's missing, or feel free to play around with it and let me know what you did!

Number one is a winner!

I LIKE IT!
the only thing..try to capture both eyes (#2), try to do angel where both eyes are visible =)

There really isn't anything wrong per say, the photo just looks static IMO. I would have tried to get more of him in the frame, used the rule of thirds as much as possible. You did a good job getting the picture sharp and contrasty, but like I said, it just lacked that spark. I did a little edit that puts a little 'wow' factor - but it's a little gimmicky for old-salts, hey, but if it works.

i sincerely like the second.....The one where the baby is looking up. well captured and love the b&w. good stuff!

I'm a fan of both eyes, myself, but not having both eyes doesn't make it a bad photo, it just means we have different tastes. I'm wondering if the line on the left side of his face could somehow have more dimension added to it, that is what seems to be popping out at me...where the fleece meets his face. Hopefully someone who's better at PP than I am can help answer that question.

He sure is a cutie!!

Thanks for the comments and help every one, its much appreciated! I agree both eyes would have been great but this was kinda an oops photo that I fell in love with! Im so glad I kept it.

Maxxum...I love the edit...maybe one day I will be able to pp like that!
