Oh wow the pose in number five is just priceless. A very nice shot.

Thank you, Andrew. She was pretty good with the cute baby poses! I just got lucky

Nice job. It is pretty hard to beat the Sun as a light source, isn't it?

What a nice series!

I'm really drawn to the second view. I like the choice of black and white. Did you try bringing down the tone of the background? I wonder, with the dark clothing... hmmmm....

Either way, VERY nice!

Thanks Pete,
No, I didn't try bringing down the background. Good idea. How would you try to do it? With my limited PS knowledge I would probably make a duplicate layer and darken that layer a bunch until the background wasn't as noticable and then use the eraser to bring back the dad and baby...but maybe there's a better way?
