    Never sure with if these ‘new baby’ shots should go into people or members announcements sections…

    Anyway the H’s have a new addition – Grace H, born 13th Aug. She has been home for a couple of weeks now and keeping us all up during the nights.

    Feel free to critique, I don’t think I have quite ‘nailed’ the selective focus here, and it would be nice to get a good one before she grows up!

    Congratulations!! She looks lovely :D

    I like this picture, but, from your description it sounds like your not quite happy with it yourself.
    Maybe a wider aperture would have gave the effect you were looking for.

    The good thing is, you can pretty much practice whenever you like :D

    The focus is on the little hand/arm, I think I would have preferred the face??
    Congrats to you both and good luck.

    Congratulations. Welcome to PI, Grace.

    I think allowing the focus to fall on the hand would be fine but only if it
    was properly visible. A baby’s cute little digits, and wrinkly skin, make
    a lovely subject but half a fist doesn’t quite cut it.

    Thanks to all for your comments and wishes.

    I think I am in general agreement with you Pete – I quite like the shot from a framing and DoF perspective , but need more emphasis on the hand(s) to improve the shot. Also need to clone a bit of blotchyness above the mouth.

    I’ll need to hurry to try again – those tiny fingers and toes don’t last too long.

    Thanks once again.
