"Madonna and Child"

"Madonna and Child"
©David A. Ziser

This is an image I made of a mother, one of my brides, and her newborn baby just a few weeks ago. I thought is was a good post for today this being Christmas Eve and all. I love the shot because of the tenderness and feelings from the mother and she softly caresses her newborn innocent babe. The expression, composition, and subtle tonalities were enhanced in Photoshop to draw viewer's' attention to the gentle interaction of the mother and the baby. I think it works well. Camera specs; Canon 40D fitted with 100mm Macro, F 11 @ 1/80 second, ISO 400.
Enjoy! -David

  1. That is a great shot! I really like the mom's smile, almost like a Mona Lisa smile.
