Contrariamente a quanto detto nel precedente mess, trovo il taglio del viso molto bello perchè spinge lo sguardo dell'osservatore a porre attenzione sul vero soggetto della foto ossia il bimbo; molto buona la luce. Concordo sul fatto che la mano avresti dovuto tagliarla. please, visit my work and giv comment, thanks

Il taglio mi lascia l'amaro in bocca, soprattutto per il viso mozzato con un taglio di scure e per le mani in basso che mi fan venire voglia di vederle intere. Preferisco la precedente. Trovo ottimi i toni. CIao

A very poetic picture! The bright background off to the rigth distracts my eyes a bit away from where they should be - the connection between the mothers face and her newborn, but I wouldn't consider this a flaw, just something that I would have rather left out. Still a grand and powerful capture. By the way, one aspect why I like this piece so much is the fact that it is free of any cliches that tend to be present quite often with captures like these. Great job, Raffaele!

Good shot, really gives sense of natality! I like very much the model skin and expression and the management of the b&w is excellent. Lightning is perfect for the subject and all the scene is in perfect focus (hard thing for the setup, IMHO). Something disturbing on the background (maybe the sofa, maybe too high contrast)...

Nice fragile photo. Both mother and son are enjoying this moment of intimacy. The black and white adds to this intimacy. The composition is excellent. The pillow in the background although takes to much light. Regards, Wim.

A very sensitive and personal image. I am not overly sure about the crop of the baby but the moter is perfectly framed. The mothers thumb also seem sto be a distracting feature rather than an enhancement but who am I to judge that... I like the tones in the image and the family bond of mother and new born child could not be stronger than portrayed here. Nice one.

This is a very nice, tender portrait of mother and son. I think that the composition is little too tight on both the mother's head (her on eye is cut) and her hands. The sofa in the background is also distracting within the composition.

Beautifullly done. I do tend to disagree about the thumb. I think that it adds to the "bonding moment" that you caught on film. It's a matter of touch and feel.. not just breast feeding.
