Yes that is better; you might get away with cloning the bat out, not easy (for me) Like you I always give straight shots and pw examples I kind of got lucky as mum is a model that I met. You have really hit the nail square on the head when you say "expressions, positions are not as nice" and IMO that is the price you pay for working with people, more so babys cause they dont know any better. The little girl that I photographed done everything she could to be awkward and she knew what she was doing, I virtually had to bribe her lol "Kids"

The Truth is Out There
