I don't know what is it about your pictures that brings so much life and meaning to everything.

Truly a great shot. =)

Brings a warm feeling to my soul. Great photo. I really needed something like this while I'm away from family and friends. I hate working out in the boonies by myself.

This is an incredibly beautiful photo - so much depth, emotion and feeling behind it - wonderful shot! Absolutely love the tone :)

Warm feeling indeed. This pic has a charm.

However, I think there could have been something in the background instead of pure white (but it does not interfere with the warm feeling:).

It took me a while to realize that Finley was there! Nice soft shot.

This is such a touching photograph and well executed as always.

This one really tugged at my heartstrings. Very nice.

That's beautiful. The expression on the face of your daughter really sums up that feeling older kids seem to get when they have a tiny brother / sister cuddled up against them, a combination of pride, joy, and happiness I suppose. And I love the way your son's hand is twisted around in that newborn kind of way.

Such a sweet and lovely sister. (Obviously the same words describe the photo). What a lucky family, to have such records of love.

An unremarkable shot of your daughter reading. Then, you look a the bundle on her shoulder and you realise how well captured and beautiful an image this is. I think the surprise held in the composition (for me) is where the reward lies. Well composed Dave. I also like the DoF. I am not sure how much of the haze was CS'd in but the sharpness of the book against that of the two subjects is great. Really makes the eye work.

Beautiful! Really beautiful.

A beautiful image in every way!

There is something disturbing in that pic...must be the light! Not sure..
However I love the pic! Her serenity and the way the baby is part of her body is amazing! Feel like he is part of that family since ever :)
Congratulations! (for the family and photo :)

This is just full of tenderness, so warming :)

I like the point of focus in this case. The kid's not blurred beyond recognition, nice composition. Well shot.

beautiful

What a precious photo. It makes me misty. :)

That is a truely SPLENDID shot.
Congrats on having such photogenic kids :)

Beautiful composition-I already miss the days when my 6 month old would sleep like that on my chest and it wasn't even that long ago.

That is such a prefect and special shot. Good to see siblings so comfortable with each other.

Ahhh - I do like this photo. Excellent.

What an adorable moment!

There's nothing more lovely in the world than having a sleeping infant on your chest!

Lovely photo, well captured, your family album is going to be something amazing to look at :-)

I love the toning - really draws the eye to the actual subject of the picture. So precious!

I agree the white highlight top right detracts and spoils it a little.
Otherwise, the soft focus and very subtle sepia works well.
I enjoy seeing children with babies or toddlers - reminds you that the world is not peopled with just adults, and non-adults; that there are multiple levels of age, experience and maturity, each with their own little world.

Nice Shot! Soft black and white

Now that's what I'm talking about! brilliant...

A picture and a family to be proud of. Heartwarming.

Heartwarming. Brings a smile to my face. The photo title is just perfect.

Such a delightful photo.

I want to cry!

Lesser mortals like me would have focussed on Milly and fuzzed out the book.

But I guess that is what makes you...you.

Lovely !!!! - I see this shot and instantly I have a smile on my face. Your photos have that power, congratulations!

All your work is my way.

Thanks everyone, I was pleased with this one.

Such a heart-warming shot :)

This is the kind of shot that people will treasure Dave.

This could be a nice subject for the readers project (http://www.thereadersproject.com). Unfortunately the english version is still under construction, but it would be great!!

Wonderful shot and excellent lighting! It's like they were posing for you next to a window at just the right time of day.

I love that series of books, by the way. The illustrations are amazing.

You are blessed!

Oh I so love this one! I'm so in love with almost of all your fantastic photos! Im feeling so inspired and I wish that I could get an advanced and better camera! Poor me =-)

My praise is probably not much to be proud of, as I almost never see anything wrong with your shots, but this one is really special. Plain fantastic! So much warmth, beauty and surprise in one picture.

Plus the brilliantly chosen title! Makes me want to dig out my (only) Neil Diamond record immediately.

this is remarkable. your photos say a lot of things.
