This is the most important and powerful photo I have ever taken. 9 months in the making and 36hrs of blood, sweat and tears from mum. This shot all comes down to the timing, about 5 minutes after birth there was this brief moment of harmony; the eyes opened and the first of many smiles flashed across her face. My eyes welled, my heart melted and I luckily got this photo.
Olympus EPM-2, 14-42 kit lens, kit flash, aperture priority wide open and auto ISO. Processed In PS express on the iPad.
I've been trying to get a shot the last few weeks, but I've either been out in the wrong time of the day (as below) or it's been windy (I wanted a shot at the docks with reflections but the water was choppy!).
