Big Brother! by robertwsimpson, on Flickr

This looks way overexposed and harsh to me.
There is no texture in his skin.
Sorry

to me, this is a case where just because you can shoot at f/1.4, doesnt mean you should shoot at f/1.4
the face and left arm are in focus, but everything past that falls quickly out of focus.
it seems odd to me seeing the left arm in focus, and the left side of his face OOF.
its the same on the right side. part of the face in focus, right arm and shoulder OOF.

what is in focus also looks a little soft to me. i dont think the softness is such a big deal as a lot of people actually like soft baby pics, but I think there definitely needed to be more DOF here.

Big brother??? Congtaulations! I remember back when you got ENGAGED! Now there's a "big brother"...so I deduce there must therfore be a little brother or sister either here, or on the way! Man, time flies.

I like the bokeh balls on the Christmas tree...nice. Not overly fond of the azure blue eyes look, but then again, it is the second decade of the twenty-first century...we don't drive Ford Edsels or DeSoto's these days either...

haha Thanks Derrel!

yeah, this was more of a "birth announcement" for anyone who might still be around from days gone by than a "C&C request." All the same, I always appreciate the comments!
