This one is indeed interesting. Yeah, it makes me nervous too. But the baby's apparant nonchalance gives it an even odder sensiblity.

This is an interesting take on the topic,and I like the fact that you didn't straighten the image...makes the baby's perch look even more precarious. However, my eyes are just bothered by the slightly OOF nature of the image. I know, there wasn't time for the niceties here...I also got off one quick shot through the window of the moving car. I just hope this beautiful baby made it safely to wherever they were going.

This makes me very uncomfortable..... I can just see the result of a sudden kick and woops... Mum needs a little prompting about child safety and unexpected outcomes?

Not your picture Tom, I hasten to add, a very good capture and a good choice to B&W. This I believe gives maximum impact and focus on the subject.

Awwww! So cute, but what mother would leave her child on the back of the car, even for a moment?! This works really well in b&w and the composition tells the story. Good work! ~Sharon
