its a tear drop on the baby's face that I babysit during the day. I changed it to black and white just cus I thought it would look better...What do you all think? Leigh

Outstanding Leigh!!! This is deffinetely a keeper and in all likelyhood a portfolio shot. Aside from being a great exposure it has an instant emotional impact that IMO would grab any viewer... Unless they are dead or stone cold. Congrats :)

The idea is right, next time a little more face to establish age and expression.

So what did you do to the child to get this. Withold food. Coporal punishment? Good picture but you shouldn't abuse others for you works of art. Bsteph

Aw, Leigh - this is a-m-a-zing! Totally agree about the b/w - I'm sure in colour it just wouldn't have the same impact...

Yep, this is darn good shot. Works like hammer in b&w. And I disagree billglaw, I think this is perfect as it is. Wakes up questions, like good pic sould do. Why is she/he crying? How old is he/she? She or he? Really good. .n

Uhm.. because it goes without saying? :P (just kidding..but if it wasn't soft it wouldn't provoke just those emotions we have expressed..)
