j'aime bien le contraste entre le "muscle" et la tendresse de la scène !
I like the contrast between the "muscle" and the tenderness of the stage !

Oh Magda a gift of love is the perfect title...I hesitate to say anything for fear of spoiling the purity of it...
(oh hell, who's the man? wow)

@Lorraine: I wish I could say it's my husband (sigh) but it's my neighbour and his brand new baby.

Excellent mood and feeling in this shot! I especially like the contrast between the sides of the image, with perfectly eve tones in between. Well done, Magda!

Ron from Saint Louis, United States
This is so beautiful and intimate ... I love how you've chosen to pose him so that his right arm (left in photo) is against a dark background, which outlines and highlights his muscular form, and his left arm is softened by what appears to be natural light flooding in ... a beautiful metaphor for the gifts required of a parent – strength and gentleness. Excellent, Magda ... inspiring!

This is a very high quality b&w image, especially because of the control of light and shadow around and on the baby's head. The black left side and the white right side also add interest. Very well done IMHO.
