Nicely executed, very appealing image - Quentin

Nice image Keith. My only gripe is that the baby's left arm ends abruptly. It's hard to see where the hand is - it seems just cut off, which looks odd. I'm at a loss to know what Kim means by a tiny fleck of light on the mother's head, as the hair is fairly evenly lit in two main places with no one small spot as far as I can see.
Flick.

This is such a lovely image of a mother and son; everything is just perfect...her bowed head, smoothed hair, highlit neck, and his alert gaze to a source outside the picture with his little hand under her gentle control, all shaped by the shadowy soft negative space. Except for a tiny fleck of light on top of the mother's head it's perfect. Just beautiful! --Kim

Very peaceful, the lighting works well - great stuff.
