What a shot! True and (being parents and grandparents ourselves) also deceptive. That tiny world-and-life changer can instantly turn from a cherubic angel into a loud tyrant. Great job. #1057397

Blanca Acosta January 23, 2005

It's a beautiful photo that tell a lot about you and your family, tender, expressing strong ties and joy.
It's impeccable.
But, I'd kept it for myself. It too, too similar to a photo by Ann Geddes.
I happen to have it. I can't upload it because it is a copyrighted image. #1057563

Cindy Paquette January 23, 2005

January 23, 2005

This really is a beautiful photo so forgive me you think I'm being too critical. The first thing I noticed was that the mother has two long nails and one very short nail. I found it distracts from the image. #1058040

Blanca Acosta January 23, 2005

I obtained permission by Anne Geddes to show her photo. #1058668

April Bryant January 23, 2005

Beautiful portrait! Congrats! #1058810

Audrea Telkamp January 23, 2005

Absolutely precious Kimberly!! I have to disagree with Blanca though.. I find it to be quite different from the Anne Geddes image. Most evident is the mother's involvement in the image, and also the infant's body positioning is quite different, not to mention the fact that each child has a distinct look of his/her own. Beautifully done and a big congratulations to you Kimberly!! #1058978

Kathleen R. Struckle January 23, 2005

Beautiful image Kimberly!! So precious. Congrats. on POTD!! #1059078

Kimberly J. Whipps January 23, 2005

Thank you all so very much! I am overwhelmed. I came home today and checked my email and found over 40, I was very confused. When I saw that "Mom and Dad" was chosen as the POTD I was elated. Thank you again for all your encouragement. And thank you BP for selecting my work. #1059154

Amy Anderson January 23, 2005

Beautiful, so sweet. I would have loved to have seen the baby's cute little feet though. #1059180

Donna La Mattino Pagakis January 24, 2005

Very original and sweet. Very well done!! Amazing work!! #1060985

January 26, 2005

I really loved this photo, I didn't notice the fingernail until after I read your responses. I am a total amatuer though.
I think it is better than the Anne Geddes photo! It really touched my heart.
Thanks and congrats!
