Other than the fact that it's not a picture of me picking him up and covering his sweet face with kisses, I think it looks fine.

Only thing that looks off to me is that it seems rather muddy. Maybe boosting your contrast a bit would help...

Looking closely, Alison, the only thing I can see is that maybe his face being a bit darker than his shoulder/chest area camera right is a little off - and did you smooth his skin in post? If so, maybe a little too much, there's not much skin detail in some place

But...girl...you made me look for those things. They aren't major things, and I wouldn't have even noticed them.

Agreed. But I think if you took this image and aged it. That would be SA-WEET!!!!!!!

Sis, I used a midnight black action and it does sort of a blur type thing within the action and no control

I was thinking it might blow with a contrast boost - and you'd lose more detail in the blacks, too.

What if you did some creative shadow burning and highlight dodging? Not the blackest and lightest areas, but the rest of it?

Ah - no way to erase some detail back in, huh?
