Antarctic. I have allready post this picture and the background was too busy. After the suggestion of Evelyne I decided to try to change the background. Here is the result.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Elle est superbe ainsi !!! En plus les couleurs du fond que tu as choisi donne énormément de douceur à la scène déjà touchante de cette maman avec son bébé et les mettent bien en valeur. Pour moi c'est 10 sur 10.
Alors les puristes vont s'insurger en disant que tu as modifié la réalité et que ce n'est pas ça une vraie photo, que c'est de la triche.... eh bien on s'en fout. Moi je dis qu'on peut modifier une certaine réalité quand le but est de la magnifier, et c'est le cas ici.
Merci Olivier de ces échanges constructifs qui donnent tout son intérêt à ce site et à plus....

A beautiful image of the mother with her chic. Wonderful detail and great DOF. I did not view the other version of the photo but will take a look.
