Yikes - I would say bollocks!
Interesting points you oumake on clothes - they do indeed detract on many occasions. I was only planning on taing a few shots of her feet then it just turned into a head shot too.
Shooting black and wite as you have do must be the ultimate timeless classic for babies and is definately my preferred option. Getting them with no clothes 2mins before we sat down to dinner was not an option on this occasion I'm affraid!
As for her eye - although I have obviously saturated the image she does have these amazing blue eyes which is probably why they look overdone - just a slight saturation on them works wonders!
Nice shot by the way. That technique holding on the parents arm was on the agenda for me in fact with this same baby at some stage. Just need a warm day!
Cheers
Matt

Having a two year old boy I have tried all sorts of stuff for photographing him & have taken a few shots of friends babies also. One problem I personally dont like are kids clothes these days as they always have some brand or big pattern/pictures on them. I think it is hard to include these in the photos as I prefer to go for a more timeless shot where 100% of the image is about the child. I find the butterfly thingy distracting in this shot & would have preferred it without. I like toying around with the colours like you have but it is often hard to keep the eyes real & if I do this I often delete out the eye section of an adjustment layer. I have attached two photos below where I was doing something exactly the same as this shot but when I got home & saw one of the shots I thought it was hysterical & still makes me laugh. This is a good friends son & he was after an image similar to some of my son but I tried them in high key due as it was easiest. The first is the final the second is the comic shot

very cute photo, I like the high key effect and the composition. But honestly I think the sharpening tone adjustment on the eyes is overdone. The eyes don't look natural any more. just MHO.

Lovely saturated colors here, a bit high-key technique, I like it.
