I would like to thank everyone for their comments. This is one of my favorite shots of my sister-in-law (my wife’s sister) and her baby daughter. I have enjoyed the challenge. Pictures can be deceiving though. If you could have seen how fussy the baby was being next to her mother (she would not set still), it is totally amazing that I even got one shot on the baby in focus.

Thanks again!

Very moving, the serenity is palpable. The baby's comfort and peace is manifest and the mother's quiet care and love is evident. A delightful capture.

This has my vote.

I agree that this is a very good photograph. I can't figure out if it is just lack DOF (depth of field), selective blurring or both, but to me it is a bit too soft in areas I'd like to see sharper/more natural looking. Had this been my shot, firstly I would be very proud of it and secondly, I would have entitled it "Bliss". --Olaf.dk

I like this image a lot. It does def. convey emotion. The baby is so comfortable and seemingly happy, and the mother has that "reflective" love. I do like it...I feel the simplicity of this composition is great for the story you are telling. This is a photo I am sure mother and child will both cherish! The simplicity of "naked" in this picture also adds to the story of how fundamental the emotion is...it transcends everything...great grab of emotion! The symmetry of the gazes (one lower right the other lower left direction) only adds to the balance...

Thanks for sharing!
