Chuck,
Well, I think it's a great shot.
Hehe -- I feel ya. I have lots of stories JUST like that. :) Moms are all
"shoot my daughter", but if you allow them in the frame at all, they'd
better be in focus & looking flattering. :)

This was the best of a long shoot, but never selected by the client 'cause
mom didn't like the expression on the small part of her face that was
showing. :(
Out of focus stuff can be fun, too. Or rather, very very shallow DOF.

This second shot is SO almost there. This theme is something I've gotta
revisit & see what I can do to nail it.
In any case, tack-sharp focus is overrated until the moment when you really
need it and can't get it -- then it's paramount! :)

Well, I thought I was pushing the boundaries a little with this one.
Baby in focus, the mom deliberately a little out of focus thus placing
emphasis on the baby in the foreground. I was happy with it but I guess
I pushed the boundaries a little too far. The mom (the only one who
counts here) wasn't happy with it. But I'll keep trying. :-)
