Beautiful soft portrait - would also like to see it with child completely dressed in black #1204207

Anthony L. Mancuso November 12, 2009

Thanks Robert..fortunately that was easy enough to do but I thought all black made the baby lose her femininity so I tried one with the bow left in, what do you think? #8125474

I like the black with bow. The white on the first was distracting.
Love the lighting, the softness and the beautiful tender moment. #8132909

Joan E. Hoffman November 15, 2009

I agree the one with the bow is better, the all black one is a bit too dark to me. Other than that really like the POV and the captured emotion! #8132918

Dale Hardin November 15, 2009

Excellent all the way around Tony. This is a lovely tender image captured perfectly. The image with the bow remaining is the one to keep. #8133161

really like the one with the bow, this is a very sweet picture, Tony and very nicely done. I like this one way better than her being in the basket. #8134207

Number 5 voting for the bow edit. It's the best one of a beautifully captured "Tender Moment" as you titled it! #8134438

Number 6 voting for the bow edit. I agree with you and think the bow adds femininity to the whole image. Another beautiful image! #8135956

Hi I'm 7! Really a wonderful capture! I love the soft light! They are going to love this one! :~) #8136135

Coming in at #8 here. The polka dots are a distraction and I'm just not for babies dressed all in black so the satin bow image is the happy medium. Soft, and wonderful shot, Tony. #8136636

#9 without hesitation Tony. And although I'm a guy I can say "Awww" with the best of them. Nicely framed, this could sit on the piano for ever. #8136698

Wonderful Tony! Congratulations on the EP, but I still have to go with the bow as being a much better way to present this. #8137533

Aimee C. Eisaman November 17, 2009

It's a sweet capture regardless of the dress and either version is worthy of an EP! I do hope you enter the other one too because I really like it! :~) Congrats! #8138574

Christie R. Bielss November 17, 2009

Congrats on the EP, Tony! I do hope you also enter the one with the bow - that's my fav! #8138687
