My 1st Newborn Shoot

[Khary L. Dixon]

Good, bad, or Ugly ?

Pros:
* Nice setting, with the holiday backdrop
* Focus seems to be appropriate

Cons:
* The white balance seems a bit off
* The photo seems to be a bit underexposed

I think you summed up what I was trying to say better than I was typing it.

What light setup did you use?

I agree as well.

The white balance was correct I used a cross processing filter from the nik color efx pro for a vintage look. It looks like the overall exposure was effected when applied. I will post original so you can see it. I dare to be different. Please note I am not making excuses.

Here is the original.

I actually like that better!

I'm kind of torn between the 2. My opinion, I like the skintone of the original, yet the feel of the 1st

I like #2 better. I think I'd try a tighter crop to ditch the brown wall on the left. Maybe crop it for a 5x7 or 8x10.

Not quite 8x10:

Thank you all for the time I will take everything into consideration.
