Very cute baby! What did you do in post? They look way over-processed if you ask me. The baby almost looks fake. From what I can see, they're good pictures to start with, so I wouldn't think they needed so much work. I like them but they don't look natural

Thanks

My wife was around and tried to make her smile! I did only a bit processed on shadow, exposure and sharpness.

Maybe this want will look more natural :lol:

All of the pictures are very cute. I really love the one with the little hoodie too but I'm partial to hoods lol.

I do agree with the previous poster though. I am not a professional and my opinion probably doesn't matter but I think the issue particularly with the first two is the softening. It looks like you done a softening of the skin and pulled all the color out of it. Which is totally ok but I think you want a little to far because it doesn't just look soft and feathery like what most people do it actually looks almost plastic like. So the pictures are totally great in my opinion but if I were you I'd probably take them back to the editing board and soften again but a little less.

In the first one I like to see her arms not cropped. For the second I would put the blanket entirely in the shade.

Im wondering if her ethnicity is playing a part in her skin appearance. Then again in the second one you can really see a texture difference between the forehead and her cheeks.

Not bad shots though.

The facial skin in the first image is almost too "perfect" and smooth which I do not like. The colors are also way too saturated for my taste. Did you shoot these in "vivid" mode?
