Very sweet. You have captured the behavior that reminds us how closely we are related. Beautiful. Nice details.

Great title. I like the composition, the inclusion of the mother's hand adds a lot to the impact and interest of the image. So, at what age do you recommend to discourage thumb sucking, I have a two year old at home and.....

Hi Cheryl,

Another nice shot - you better watch out - you're setting your personal bar pretty high!

Catching the thumb-sucking and the look on his/her face wouldn't have been easy - good eye and good shooting. In a perfect world I think I would have helped a little to shoot this froma a slightly lower angle, but I'm guessing the constraints you were under completely prohibited this - so consider this a very minor (and easily ignorable!) nit.

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

A classic mother and child portrait that puts a smile on our faces. Thanks for the smile on my face today.

This is adorable

My only suggestion for improvement would be to have a bit more room on the left side to include mother's hand completely as this is an important element in the image IMO as it sort of 'mirrors' the baby's hand.

Wonderful, intimate portrait!
I'd suggest moving your signature lower, so that it is not so easy to miss mom's loving hand!

Congrats on the EP!
