Thanks for the comments.
My own thoughts about “alone” in this picture was when you are dreaming you are alone because you can’t share your dreams with anyone, except if you are a politician or on heavy drugs ;=)

The baby is nicely exposed...lovely skin tone as others have said. The removal of the background by PSE makes the lone baby stands out. Although I can still see the traces of the background removal. Theme...if I try hard, I can sort of see how one might interpret the baby as being alone in his own little dreamy world, without a care regarding the external world.

Per, this is a very cute picture of baby, yet the outcome brings me the question whether baby is really alone or not, despite of sleeping time! Cheers, Feri

What a beautiful child! This is a keeper for your album. From a technical point of view, you had the challenge of exposing the bright forehead and the shadow of the face as well. I think the forehead got too bright. Nice and sharp.

I like this shot very much - there's something slightly 'other-worldly' about it. For me it works even better when slightly smaller, since then it looks a littme more abstract.

This is a very nice and peaceful portrait, with lovely skin tones. Composition is also very good. .... but I don't get a sense of alone. To me she looks so sheltered, relaxed and protected that I finf it hard to immagine that she is alone in the car
