[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My wife delivered a baby girl at 3:30am , today 24 Oct 05. I took this photo at around 7:00am and
while my wife & 2nd child was still sleeping I had this time to prepare it for Treklens in our hospital room. I wanted to make sure that I posted this image the same day my daugther is born. Gladly, wireless internet connection in the hospital was freely available.

========================================

1. made 3 copies of the original image.
2. Gausssian blurred the 2nd layer.
3. Change mode to overlay and reduce opacity to 50%
4. Desaturate the 3rd layer and selectively erase around the image. Used a soft brush with 50% opacity.
5. Added the usual border.

This is the most happiest moment of my day today. Your darling little daughter being born has brought tears to my eyes. Also today, our dearest friend Kathleen (Sandpiper) from TrekLens enters heaven. She would have been proud to know that a sweet baby girl was born the same day she went to heaven. My congratulations to you and your family. May your little daughter be the kindest person on earth.

What a sweet thought you had there. And the photo is adorable. Such a proud mother and beautiful baby. I am glad Cloverstar pointed us to this.

You can tell that a proud and loving father created this shot out of love for his beautiful wife and brand new daughter. It's just so lovely, Cesar, and THEY are lovely too! Congratulations to you and to all of your family!

What a sweet & tender picture, Cesar. This should be enlarged and framed and hanging in the baby room. I like the way the mother is peeking at her baby girl, too bad her face is a bit dark. I wish you and your family all the best.
TFS.

Cesar, a very beautiful, and heart touching moment, very well captured! The child is beautiful, congrats to you and your wife!
