Best baby of 2014 so far!

Correct. Back sleeping with a neutral spine and airway. Not dumped into a bucket with the chin touching the chest.

. Anyway this thread is really horrible. It proves just how hard it is for a woman photographer to get respect. These are good, damn good photos. Better photos than most people who commented produce IMO. Leave this girl alone. You all are being mean, bullies. Truth.

I'm sorry but this is NOT true in any way shape or form. And what a way to SLAM everyone who did respond to this thread. Before you call someone a bully, please re-read the words you wrote. Not cool.

If you can't handle C&C, then don't ask for it.

"Open airway by tilting patient’s head back and lifting the chin. Do not perform a head tilt on babies or injured patients."

Newborn babies are different than adults.
They have little muscle strength in their necks and can't resist the pull of gravity on their large heads.
Their trachea are not as rigid and can relatively easily be compressed by position.

Well the baby is not "dumped in a bucket". The baby prop was filled to the top with stuffing (blanket) so the baby is lying natural/flat position. It is not right for you to assume a professional newborn photographer would not be taking proper safety precautions. I can see mentioning it, but seriously, this is getting really out of control...mods??

First off, I can handle critique...as can Corrie, obviously. Also, yes, there are many people who responded on this thread as bullies. Who continuously assumed that this baby was put in life threatening danger, even after being assured he wasn't several times.

She was even told by people to "look at pinterest" for ideas. Well I'm sorry to tell you but her images are probably the ones you are pinning! Hey, haters gonna hate....

Definition of bullying : Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Justifications and rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of class, race, religion, gender, sexuality, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability

Not happening here.

If you can't handle the truth, then don't ask for it.

She is a professional newborn photographer who takes beautiful pictures. I am a professional physician that has spent 15 years learning about the intricacies of the human body, including neonatal airways. I am merely trying to provide a little helpful advice that may keep her taking beautiful pictures.

Hi Corrie! I wanted to give you some critique. I think you did a really awesome job here! The skin tones are so lovely and your backdrop is so smooth! I can never get mine like that!! (I have that blue blanket btw)

#1 This is my least favorite. I am personally not really a big prop person. The baby is very small in the frame, maybe try to crop off so the moon almost touches frame left, putting baby more in ROT. Also something funky is going on with the background...darkening??
#2 & 3...well it has obviously been mentioned his neck looks uncomfortable. I think these are really cute, but I would really like to see some more interesting compositions, baby is very centered.
#4 is a great job at a composite! Skin tones look a little more red and highlights look a tad brighter than the others. Did you process it differently? Looks more contrasty?
#5 Love it, next time try to pull that hand up and under his cheek more
#6 again, love, I would try to bring hands under cheek.

Yes I hope everyone reads that thread you linked to. Why on earth would those photos (while cute, far less in quality) get such great reviews and these professional quality photos get such bad ones...hmmm....I don't have to think hard about that one....

I don't think anyone is giving bad reviews to these. Pretty much everyone has thought they were wonderful photos. The difference is that the infant is positioned with neutral head position in the other thread. That's all anybody has said in critique of this thread, just positioning.

You must be looking at different pictures than I see.
The baby's head in these look seriously unnatural and non-flat to me.

Man that baby looks uncomfortable.

No it doesn't. In reality, it looks remarkably comfortable. So comfortable that it's sleeping...

You may not have much experience with newborns; I raised several.
Newborns sleep, even in positions that are uncomfortable and even dangerous - look up SIDS.

I wonder how much crap you get if you post underwater baby photos . Certainly babies cant breath underwater.

This baby is 5 days old. That's all it does is sleep.
