Thank you all so much!! Miro, I think he looks cold too! Actually we were shooting this on mom and dad's bed and they had that room cookin' hot with a space heater. Still every time I look at this I just want to bundle him up in a soft blankie and hold him. ;o) Which is exactly what I did as soon as mom got done feeding him. HA!

I really envy you Shirley. A new model in the family with years to go before he'll protest when he sees a camera ! Great shot, and a BIG CONGRATS ! Goffen

Shame on you, how could you expose poor little boy to the could to take the photo of him? :-)) I hope you will not do this very often :-)) One of the best baby shots I have seen in the long time.

Wow what a shoot. Congratulations Shirley you now have a whole new avenue to expore photographically. When are you going to get the 35-100 as its now justified.

Beautiful shot - he is a handsome boy - hard to tell that he has gone through that whole birth process. Excellent study. No bones - all thought. I am all bones, inflexible, know it all. What went wrong :-) brent

What a remarkable portrait, Shirley! It is stunning. He looks so calm and deep in thought - perhaps he is still remembering how he slept in the womb, and curled up as he was then, such a short time ago.

He was born with this look! I have seen the the forehead relax a few times but he really looks way to serious! lol I think he wants solitude!

Oh my, he's CUTE!!! Very nice light and pose too, I like his concentrate expression, as if sleep were the most important and difficult thing to do (and maybe it is!) endika
