I love 'em! I think that babies and pets are the hardest subjects to photograph because everybody does them, it's hard to evoke emotion from a casual stranger, but #4 was definitely the strongest one out of the bunch. I love how it focuses on the fingers and the flower but the rest is out of focus. The skin tone is fantastic.
Next would be number 6, the skin tone is paler, different than the rest, and makes the child pop out more. The detail is great, sharp yet soft.
Number two, well, I don't like the beveled frame. I think it distracts from the image, the eye goes to the edges rather than on the child. Crop it a little bit from the top, right where the hedge is so you don't see anything beyond it.
Number eight, I like this one too, I love how it's focused but there's just something off about it... Great shots! Thanks for sharing them!
