About	This woman is adamantly averse to having her photo taken (she feels she is too unattractive). However, while she was preparing her baby for me to shoot I couldn't resist snapping this one. I made it B&W and cropped it so that you don't really see the woman, yet you can see the tenderness of her expression as she holds her child. I am hoping that she will accept this as it may be the only picture of this mother and child together...ever. The original photo is below. Please let me know what you think of the crop...does it improve the overall photo? What about the de-colorization? Is there anything I could have done to improve this shot?

I think you're cropping is fine. What's there to worry about?

If I were to play with the crop - I would try bringing the right side in a tad. The right edge as the thumb sticking up I find it a little distracting.

Love the crop and the tender moment caught.

Lynn Cason {K:97} 8/5/2004

I have the same hesitation with parents and the camera. I know she will love that shot. You have captured a moment in time she will always treasure. It's tender and sweet, no mommy can resist. I love it in b&w (it's poetry)

Ditto to all I love it! The picture says it all.

I agree - love the crop but also love how you have managed to capture the maternal tenderness (that all us mums know so well)!!

oh my gosh this is beautiful. you have done an amazing job. cropped perfectly and tones are soft and beautiful. she has to love it. how can she not. so nautral. did you get more candid shots of her with baby she didn't know about? great shot to begin with.

I love it.
it's really nice, in b&W and the crop.
good work.

Jim Christensen {K:18843} 8/5/2004

I like it. You could have cropped it a dozen different ways, but, you show the womans expression, and still the child is the focal point. Love has nothing to do with physical appearance, its all in the heart and manifested itself in action and expression. I like the B&W version. To bad society have us believing That beauty is about fitting into a certain size dress, and having a certain look. how that child grows up and turns out will not be determined by his mothers looks and thats what is important.
enough of my soap box.
