Welcome to your Life by *dkj1974 is a newborn photo I'll never forget in my life. Besides the focus on the baby with care about the composition, the choice of highlighting the little one along with the reds of the blood and the umbilical cord (?) within a black and white photo makes it even more powerful. Surely, a dA icon in the making. - Also, check out Darryll's gallery, he has really great works in it!

This image was taken on the 11th of February 2008 and as you can see, its a very special image to Trey and I. Zoey Jones, our daughter, brought meaning to our lives in a way we never imagined. As a young married couple, who scoffed at the thought of kids, and never really saw us as having any, this bundle of joy has just flipped everything on its head.
You might see a lot of her in the coming weeks, but I am trying to get images together for a website, documenting her journey with us so far, and as we move around, trying to find ones place in the world.
Btw: you may wonder, how I felt taking this image, well, I wish someone could have photographed me, cos i think my mouth was on the floor and i was just holding the button on my camera in shock. Can't believe how time has just flown. Anyway, I'm saving all the soppy stuff and emotional ranting for the site.
I also cant believe she has gone from that to this : [link]
EDIT
*** A DD for me, I am so happy, and out of my whole Gallery, this is the picture I most wanted to share with the world!
I would like to thank [link] helewidis for the wonderful words and for the DD, its so easy sometimes on DA to get despondent sometimes, but this just makes your day.
Thanks SO much, and to EVERYONE for looking!!!!
Thank you EVERYONE for your kind comments and favourites, it has been a day full of endearing messages!

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI have spent the last 30 minutes looking at this shot! This is such a beautifully presented piece.
I love how you have kept only the baby and the 'mess' in colour. It feels almost like this image is suspended in time, like this was shot right before the baby cried.
It is a perfect shot for a family photo album or scrapbook that I'm sure your daughter will fully appreciate in years to come. The composition is just perfect. It's funny, not all babies look good when they're first born but with this shot you have really caught your daughter well.
