[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is another shot of the baby. I was going for the old fashioned kind of look. I cropped the photo just a little from the top and left side. Changed coloring to sepia and adjusted those levels to my liking(I forgot the percentage). I also did noise reduction and softened the photo. I was trying to go for that old fashioned, soft photo. Kind of like an old oil. Not sure if I succeeded. I also cloned out the top of a straw.

Thank you for your comments and critiques. Lisa

Hi Lisa, he looks a little darling but you haven't focused very well on his face. He could be much sharper, and especially his eyes.
I realise why you cropped off more from one side - but you also need to remove the dark area on the RH side
I have done you a WS and I hope you like it
Cheers

Hi Lisa,

Nice shot at this baby in sepia. Excellent framing and beautiful composition.

Regards,
Jusni

Well, there are several things. 1. Cute kid, making a cute face, us parents can't resist! 2. Kids move at the speed of light, so shutter priority is a must. BUT, when we have a low light situation, there is a problem. A lower F-stop only makes the image "soft". A higher shutter speed makes it dark and noisey. My ONLY solution for this is flash and I hate flash, but there are some tricks you can use.
IF you don't have a diffuser for the flash, just wrap a couple of white napkins around the flash, it softens the blow, but keeps enough light in there to capture them sharp. Depending upon how close you are, you can bounce it off the ceiling if it's too much.
Remember, shutter priority for moving things. Apeture priority for station objects and light issues.
