I read Bruce's advice, and while I agree that ~other~ shots with his hints would be good, this photo ~in and of itself~ is terrific. Different, certainly non-cliche, well-executed, something out-of-the-ordinary. I think what I like about it is that at once, it seems to emphasize how helpless and dependant on others an infant of this age is, yet it seems that she's already trying her best, in her limited way to explore and see what's up with the world. Given the parameters that you set out for yourself, I think you're succeeding so far! Well done. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
