Sooo sweet...love the rag throw! Very cool! If you are able you may want to dampen the diaper a bit...it's pretty bright. Also I'm a little confused about the DOF here. I have just finished a bottle of wine so that might be why, but can you tell me how his feet and his face are in sharp focus, but inbetween them isn't. Infact even his check looks like it may be in focus. Did you merge more than one image together and remove parts from one? :~) #8455623

This is amazing!! That's just how I sleep!! #8455801

Deb, I know I looked at this before and I didn't catch the back portion of the rag blanket then...now my second time back...it is a but distracting being out of focus when everything else is sharp. Sorry I didn't catch that before! BTW...I LOVE that blanket!! :):) #8456496

Oh these images are too cute Debbra!!! #8456569

Aimee C. Eisaman March 15, 2010

Agree with Bean on that note about the focus on the blanket there! :~) #8456621

LOL... Aimee, when I read you comment about dampening the diaper, I took it entirely the wrong way... I thought... why on earth does Aimee want him to have a wet diaper! But... I eventually clued in!

I love this Debbra, excellent work! #8456875

Jeff E Jensen March 15, 2010

Joan - I thought the same ting :o)

This is really cool Debbra! Nice work. #8456898

Debbra - I love this one! I do agree on the blanket focus but I keep going back to his feet and how they are arranged? Was that nature or you? Either way it is priceless. #8456950

Such a cute image. He looks so comfy.

I agree that the diaper is a bit bright. And the out of focus part of the blanket actually looks smudged to me. Weird!

I love the throw too! #8457532

Debbra Bailey March 15, 2010

OK, you are all too good!

Yes, this is two images I combined - one that was focussed on his face, and one on his feet. I was playing with my 50 mm and using a very small apeture, and I really did not like that much with these shots. But I loved how he wsa laying! And yes Debbie - all natural! I didn't pose him :) I LOVE when they do fun things with their feet!

So, this was my attempt to save the image... I did see the "smudged" area, but I don't have another shot of the rag that really works. I did try to clone, but wasn't very patient!

The throw I made for this shoot. Apparently they sell for a lot online, which I was not willing to pay, so I put my own together. I love it :)

Diaper - once again I totally missed a bright spot - not sure why they don't ever jump out at me... but thanks for the notice! #8457895

Phellos have sharp eyes. Nice pick up on the two shots.

I like it overall and think it makes for a great shot. Other than the bit of telltale focus you did a great job on putting these together with an overall very pleasing result that I don't think you could have accomplished easily with any other method.

I would like to see it with the suggestions implemented, which will make it even better, but I do think it works as shown. #8458204

Rita K. Connell level-classic March 15, 2010

I commented last night but I dont know what happen to it. this is really a cute image and you did a very good job putting the two together, its a avery sweet picture. I would also like to see the suggestions implemented. #8458344

Back in the old country and back in the old days, before Mr Pampers started on his first billion We kiddos wore terry cloth 'nappies' at this age and before the advantage of 'Aerial Super With Bleach,Downy Soft,Double Strength Liquid' I am thinking bright white was never a big problem in photographs! Most of them were probably hand-me-downs from older siblings so would have been great for a 18% mid gray color balance!
Beautiful image Debbra; even Brayden won't object to this being passed around when in his self conscious adolecence. #8459628

Ellen H. Robertson level-classic March 16, 2010

Very impressive job of combining the two shots. When I opened the thumbnail and saw how focused the feet/face were I was going to ask how you did that. Do agree the diaper is a tad bright. But such an adorable position and your rag throw at first glance looks like feathers, I thought he was in a nest, which I thought was really cool. #8459725

Susan M. Reynolds level-addict March 16, 2010

The diaper doesn't bother me at all ~ He is just too adorable for words. Great blending of two photos (and the rag blankie- very cool!)...I still can't do that! #8460470
