Hi this is my baby boy when he was 4 days old. Please be advice that I didn't do any Photoshop, I don't have one and my screen is also not calibrated
Of course I love them and the family too but I will appreciate if I can get some advice on how I can improve my skills. Thanks....

I love #2, Little guy looks peaceful. Nicely done.

The only thing I'd suggest is that his skin is looking a little orange... maybe desaturate the orange channel just a bit. Other than that, it's a solid shot.

Looks quite orange on my uncalibrated screen. So sweet!!

Thanks for the comments and yea I noticed about the orange tones but I didn't wanna mess with it because of my uncalibrated screen and on my iPhone looks pretty descent.

Great pictures! So cute. If you want to capture the relationship between baby & parent(s), I'd recommend you look at how Walden's Photography approaches the subject. They were included in a portrait instructional DVD. Wow! They can capture some really amazing shots. They center the attention on the child and the parents are involved in the shot, but not drawing attention away from the child. In many cases, they are not even looking at the camera. Here's a link to their gallery for "relationships" to give you some ideas. Relationships | Walden's Photography

Can an expert help me editing these please? I think this two deserve a chance. I tried editing in GIMP last night but it seems like if I added a bit too much noise. I will appreciate it so much.

Steps taken in CS5....

1. Image > Hue/Saturation
2. Select Red channel
3. Set Hue to something way off to see what you are affecting.
4. Tweak the color "book-end" sliders at the bottom so the face is completely selected but as little else as possible.
5. Change Hue back to 0.
6. Lower Saturation slider to suit taste.
