"Baby"
I just finished combining this guy. Spliced his head to a different body shot. It was a little more tricky than I anticipated due to the shadows. His head was tipping as him mom was holding his hands.

Not sure if I'm breaking any rule submitting that second picture since I didn't actually take it (since I'm in it). But I did set everything up and then just had someone else take the picture.

curious for feedback on this photo as well. A lot of editing happened and curious how obvious it is to people other than me.

The entries are good as other times, and to pick one is really difficult.
This week my preference goes on "Welcoming a New Family Member" of sambisu.
I'd like to explain why. Is not my genre, i do not like portraits\pictures of family situation etc, but i did not even look at the title and i already know what was happening there, and the "focus" on the hand is really really "heavy", nice shot sambisu!

Wow...thanks! That image obviously carries a lot of emotion for me and I wasn't sure if that would come through at all for others.

You know, it is a classic. But classic doesn't mean trivial.
I liked it also if it wasn't my favourite genre :)
I was debated between some images, but at last i choosed that for that reason.

Congrats sambisu! Great shot with a lot of emotion.
... as the winner has been selected...Kombi...that shot cracks me up. Hilarious and really well done.
Nick....first off, another great image. But, as you asked, I can see a few things, the only one that I'd try to work on is the halo just above the plane. I'd try to get tighter to the plane with the (assumed) highlight/exposure reduction.
