The Wind Beneath My Wings

Uploaded: May 18, 2005

Description

This is from a baby portrait shoot this week. He was such a happy baby, I had a great time working with him. This image made me want to "clean" up daddy's hands, but I decided not to. Because those hands work really hard to provide for this little guy. I wanted to show that in this image, rather than trying to make it pretty. Shutter @1/200, F3.5.

I'm glad that you didn't clean up his hands. I love it just the way it is. New soft skin against worked, caring hands. Those little feet look so kissable! Cute! #1364715

I just love this shot Dale Ann, it looks wonderful, the lighting is perfect coming from the right, and I agree the Daddy's hands look great :) #1364736

I think it was a great choice to leave daddy's hands as is. Shows the contrast between the "rougher" side of masculinity and the "gentler" side with him craddling the baby this way. Awesome job on this Dale Ann! #1364863

Move over Anne Geddes! I love this one Sista! Leave it just the way it is! Daddy earned those hands & that baby needs them to take care of him! It shows the hard working man & how soft his touch is with his son! Wonderful shot girlie! Love it! #1366848

This is so beautiful and part of that beauty is dad's hands-so much rougher and "lived" than the gentle baby skin. I just spent a wonderful hour viewing all your work...you are awesome and so creative. I also love the one of the child handing you a Pansy.

Love your gallery. I have to say, this is one of my favorite baby in hands photos that I've seen. I love the baby's thumb. And you are so right about the hands. Spectacular! #1721267
