This is for real. I really want to know.

This was a dead serious attempt at portraiture from all I have learned here.
This is my daughter and her baby boy. I shot this last week. I started in lightroom 4. Yes, lightroom 4 and then removed some blemishes and cropped it in cs5.
How did I do?

I really like it, the little one made me giggle. He has that total "What???" look going on. It melts my heart.
Eyes are nice sharp (for both Mom and the little guy). They looked relaxed, she looks proud and so in love with her little one. I actually have a little tear in my eye (darn these meds!).
My only nit picks would be the skin tone on Mom looks a little off (she has some yellowing happening around the corner of her lips). Baby has typical baby splotchy red skin, an easy clean up in CS5 and your cropped his little fingers off.
I'm totally loving this shot. <3

Love the shot but one thing that I noticed right away was a little part of the head cut off at the top. Other than that, I love it. Very nice work.

Thank you very much. This means a lot to me coming from you. Being red/green colorblind, perhaps I do not see the yellow you are referring to. I probably should have used lightroom 3 and not 4 since I just got 4 today. And being the amateur that I am, I was trying so hard to get everything right, I forgot about his hand. The crop at the top of her head was on purpose as was for the cropping on the sides. Also, I felt that her right cheek was a little too bright at the white part and I was learning the different tools in LR 4. LR3 has a nice recovery slider for this.I really like it, the little one made me giggle. ... (show quote)

Oh, and one more thing. I got real lucky with the bags under her eyes. I used the healing brush in cs5 for that. I wasn't sure how to handle the baby's skin so I didn't push it.I really like it, the little one made me giggle. ... (show quote)

I can teach you how to do baby skin in a few really easy steps in CS5. It in no means is the "pro" way to do it, but it get's the job done pretty good for hobbyist shots if I do say so myself.
