More Black and Whites

I guess I'm in the mood to post tonight. More babies from a recent shoot... Suggestions on the feet? These were lotioned, and yet the dry skin still comes out?

Ideas?

I think to some extent its par for the course with newborns, isn't it? IDK, maybe I'm weird, but as a parent I don't mind it so much. I love the serenity of the 2nd shot. Both seem like they could be just a touch brighter though! I feel so bad, I know you've asked for it, but it seems like I'm ripping you to shreds tonight! Overall they're great shots, just pointing out the nitpicks that I see.

Ripping to shreds? I can take it. I used to lurk in the shadows and think some were pretty brutal. You want to learn, you want to get better - post!

Yea I think the flaky skin is part of newborn territory at some point. Cuz their skin starts to shed. I think they are adorable. The second one looks like he is in a thinking position! LOL! It does seem a little dark or lacking contrast?
