Just got back yesterday. Saw how far behind I was so thought I would put up a photo or two and avoid digging into catching up for awhile! Glad you like the shot Vikram :)
Johanne Brunet
Amazingly beautiful and touching, Shelly. These eyes are like large pools of clear black waters, so trusting and inquisitive.

What a beautiful way of describing this photo Johanne. That pretty much sums up a babies eyes…trusting and inquisitive….thank you :)

dancinfreakshow
Such a sweet shot Shelly. The lashes and the eye….Precious:)
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thanks Robert! Babies really are precious aren’t they?!
Bob Shupe
Very well done Shelly!
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thank you very much Bob :)
Daniel Wills
very nice :) what lens were you using for such a small depth of field? or do i sense some treatment in there? never the less still great :)
Shelly Hiebert replied
I am still trying to get the whole dof thing down Daniel. I sat on this one for a bit because I thought the dof was maybe too shallow. I used the Nikkor 105 mm 1:2.8 macro lens. I will figure it all out eventually! Thanks for checking it out :)
Dean Mullin
yes – course it was / is!!
Andy Evans
Nice one Shelly … the ‘blackness’ of the eye together with those long lashes works really well.
—Andy—Shelly Hiebert replied
Cheers Andy! I really appreciate your comment :) Just back from a small holiday so if you have new work I will be getting to it in the next few days. Just so you know I am not ignoring you!
Gail Bridger
Beautiful, love the angle you used!
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thank you Gail :)
Kimberley Davitt
wow this is stunning
a wonderful capture
Shelly Hiebert replied
Cheers Kim! I appreciate the comment :)
Clare Forder
Amazing and beautiful shot Shelly – perfect focus on the eye and lashes. Would imagine this would look great in a bigger framed version for the proud parents!
Shelly Hiebert replied
Well it is my brother’s daughter so maybe this could be a gift to them! Thanks for your comment Clare :)
HenkStolk
when I look at work, I always try to ignore what it is what I’m looking at.
I see, nice contrast, dark focal point nice off center, nice curves, strong curved sharp black lines.. ahh hee.. it’s a face.
Shelly Hiebert replied
Hmmm…I think I might have learned something else from you. I will have to try that!
TickerGirl
You are very good at portraits Shelly, another great work!
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thanks so much Monika. I do enjoy portrait work :)
Pete Costick
Brillaint image Shelley, I love how the dof focuses so perfectly on the eye and lashes.
wonderful work my friend. I wish I’d done this type of thing when my Natalie was a baby.
Shelly Hiebert replied
Dof is okay? This was harder to get than you would think! She is a very active little girl! Wish I had done more of this with my own children as well. Thanks for your comment Pete. I always appreciate it :)
Wendi Donaldson
WOW!.... I know where she gets those eyes!.... GORGEOUS. I’m still in Shanghai but will write more later.
Shelly Hiebert replied
Hey Wendi, you poor dear…...sigh…..still in Shanghai eh?! Call me when you get home so we can get together! And thanks for commenting even on your holiday :)
