    Great clarity! I would tone down the magenta in the skin tone, or the really red spots I would patch tool them out.

    Love the angle! I would focus more on the center of the eye so the image has more depth. Depth seems to be good, just in a different focus length. :) Nice job!

    Hi Ashlyn! I just took a look at your blog and you have a great eye for photography :) In this photo, I think I would have cropped by the rule of thirds to put more emphasis on the baby’s eyes. By that, I mean I would have moved the baby’s eyes more off center in the image to keep the eyes moving around the photo. I hope that makes sense! I really love the angle that you used! Great job!

    I agree with Laurie completely! It is a great angle & I love the baby’s eyes open & staring off. I’d maybe smooth the skin with a LOW opacity & the clone tool or patch tool….boost midtones a bit & use CMYK to get the magenta out. Do you know about the CMYK method? I can send you an article link if not! It’s a beautiful picture :)
