    Ok heres two different versions of this shot. The first one is with the clarity where I think it should be and the second one is with the clarity turned all the way down. I think the one with the clarity turned down looks kinda of cool. What do yall think?

    Love love the scenery. Great job. I much prefer the first photo..the second seems a bit much for my taste.

    IMO, I think I would of liked the focus on the baby..it seems to me to be on the mom's hand. Although there does seem movement in the baby.

    Good job Kevin, my wife runs a mile when she sees my camera. I like shot 1 out of these 2, great scenery. Soft 2 is a little to soft IMO.

    I vote for shot 1 as well.
    I think some fill flash or a reflector might have helped a lot here to get those faces looking brighter.
    Kat's right about the focus too. It should have been bubs. Make sure your autofocus point is on the baby when you focus.
    I really like the composition though. Might have loved it even more if mum and bubs were a tad more to the right of frame. However the tulips, the low angle, the sky, the positions of mum and bubs ... all really good stuff!

    Very nice scene captured here. I prefer the first shot too - the second one looks a bit unnatural soft on the face of the baby.

    I'm going to be different and say that I like the second better . I really like the softness and how the colors blend so nicely. Lovely family!
