Which one is the best?

Yeh I think the 'awwwww' factor in shot 1 makes us want it to be the better shot but in my opinion it simply isn't.

Yeah....I had my emotional glasses on when I first looked :D

I have agree with crew, the 2nd one is the better pic.

But I do like the intimate family feeling of number 1. I think number 1 would have worked better, not only if the baby's face was a bit clearer but, if mom was looking at baby too....

but hey, that's just my 2cents...
