Very nice attempts. #3 works best for me. The lot of them seems too dark overall. But you have a good thing going, in general, too! :thumbsup:

I love your ideas !! Pic 1, just does not do anything for me, but I thought it should than I realized why, try turning the picture around, the baby looks upside down to me, when I stand on my head ( not a pretty sight ) it looks great, just my opinion....
The pic with the hat, seems to have shadows on the face, the rest are great and again super poses,
Just my opinion and if you ask my wife thats not worth much, hope to see more shots...:beerbang:

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

I agree that your ideas are great! I think the reflection is a great idea, perhaps you could try several different compositions with that idea though. I'd probably like it better if it wasn't so tilted, and didn't have just one corner of the mirror cut off.

In general -- and this is completely subjective so take it as my personal opinion and nothing more -- I think natural color or B&W work best in 99.9% of photos, as opposed to colors that look like an effect more than a natural photo. And I think selective color should usually be avoided. Again, this is my opinion so take it for what it's worth, or ignore it altogether if you prefer. :)

Heres my opinion, keep it up, this is a lovely set of photos that I think any parents would be delighted with and what a delightful child. :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge:
