Description

This was a finalist for March, but I am resubmitting it this month in the black & white monthly theme. It's one of my favorites, and I'm not ready to give up on it yet.

Well, I'll try this again. The original was submitted in color, by the way.

Tonya R. Boles March 03, 2006

I like both..Great job. #2491387

Murry Grigsby March 03, 2006

The rework is much better IMO! I like the crop better and the use of B&W really gives it a formal look. Nicely done and redone DA :0) #2491433

Dale Ann Cubbage March 03, 2006

Thanks Tonya & Murry. Murry, I agree with you. I really liked the original until I cropped it and painted mom out. Then I thought, wow, that is so much better.

Thanks!

They are both beautiful, Dale! Love your comp! #2491667

Paula L. Mackey March 03, 2006

They are both beautiful, but I like the the black and white better. I agree with the comment that is more formal. It is the best hands and baby pose I believe I have EVER seen! #2491796

Tammy Scott March 03, 2006

Beautiful portrait and great framing! #2491817

Leanne M.E. Boyd March 03, 2006

I don't think I saw the first one to compair, Dale. This to me is so precious - If I were this child's Grandmother it would be blown up to 8x10 or bigger, and hanging on my wall. Lovely! #2491875

Michelle R. Kovach March 03, 2006

This one is much better DA! I remember the original & I always thought it would have been better without the mom's nose in the picture.
Nicely done!
I love the b&w too! #2492581

Teresa Lee March 03, 2006

I think both are just beautiful in their own special ways. #2492624

Deb Brown March 03, 2006

I really do like both. They each have their own feel and story. The first reminds me of 'someone watching over or admiring'; the second focuses on the newborn, but the rings and hands remind the viewer of mother's love. Either way, I love your POV, and the lighting is awesome. #2492867
