I have loads of shots of Rhowan that I like, and almost as many of Harmony, but I have very few of them together. As such I think that this one will prove to be a favourite of mine for quite some time to come. As always, let me know what you think.

This is lovely.
Those soft tones give it a dreamlike appearance

Beautiful David. The soft focus effect is just right. Love the tones that you chose as well. Children are the best blessing. Wonderful!

What a beautiful and dreamy photo, lovely in the innocence of childhood, free from worry and just so tender.

Christ! that's a powerful Shot Dave... love the softness and post processing, Excellent!

Great shot. Softness work great and shouts "peace and love".
I can imagine you are very happy to have this one "for later" and I'm sure they'll appreciate this shot when they grow up.
Its been an age since I've commented, but this is worthy of a positive note. Lovely use of the colour palette and as someone else said, the glow effect really suits. In all honesty anyone with children will find this hard not to like.

So lovely! Your work is always amazing and inspiring!

I love this photo - it reminds me of this photo of them sleeping taken a few years ago :-)

This is one of the strange cases that I like the original more than the "photoshop version".

I think this is my favorite of your girls! So beautiful and innocent!
comment byDavid Kelly at 08:11 PM (GMT) on 3 July, 2010
David, nice PPing to give a soft focus glow & high key effect. Definitely gives a dream like effect and Rhowan & Harmony an angelic / cherub like appearance. Like Chris says, any parent would be hard pushed not to be touched by this.
Just wish my little boy would still be asleep at til 8.41 in the morning, so that Daddy could have a lie-in once in a while! :-)
