I just shared your picture on my facebook page. I wanted people to see that even this tiny, premature infant is most definitely a human. Not a fetus as some would argue but a GOD formed little miracle. Thank you for the wonderful picture.

Wow...my 1st thought was could this be real? Reading through the comments I see it is possible for an infant to be so tiny and fragile and survive! By far the most heart moving photo showing the miracle of life!

Behind The Lens

Location

I was visiting family and I came across this picture hanging on the wall. I was told that it was pencil sketch done by some unknown artist.

Time

This photo was taken around 2 in the afternoon.

Lighting

This photo was taken outside on an overcast day (I prefer to use natural light whenever possible.

Equipment

Equipment used: Nikon D7000, Tamron 90mm Macromedia lens, Polorising filter to reduce reflection from the glass.

Inspiration

I was moved by the picture, even more so when i was told it was a pencil drawing.

Editing

All I did was to give it a bit of color to try and make it look more natural/human like, and some vignetting around th edges.

In my camera bag

Nikon D 7000, B700 flash, Tamron 10 to 24mm, 90mm macro, 70 to 200mm. Nikon 18 to 55 and 55 to 200mm kit lenses. Cleaning equipment, and some filters and a tripod.

Feedback

Guy's, just go out there and try and capture a photo which will reflect what drew you to scene / image in the first place.
