Comment from Linda Wetzel
The expression captured on this newborns face is priceless! I found the side view of the mother's face a little distracting and I would have cropped it out of the photo. Beautiful!

A heart stopping moment in your whole Family & especially your daughter's as she gazes on beautiful little Stella as she smiles for her Maman on 9th August 2016. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with great love & superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Hi Anon

What a lovely image of this baby as she gazes at her mum. She looks about to break into a smile :D i am glad the mark is gone or it would have been a permanent reminder of the trauma of being born. A pain I believe I still feel today! :) Just kidding! Good luck in the contest. R

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Please put down her D.O.B. otherwise the KGB is gonna execute this image. It's a requirement.

This is a very nice composition as she is surronded and held in love, she is protected. Yes, that forcep mark can be seen and tells of a difficult delivery...which by now has all but been forgotten, I'm sure.

Thank you for entering this contest.

Please re-read the criteria for this contest. In the first sentence is says to list the date of birth of infant. I'm trying to protect you from being disqualified....CEC are monitoring.
