I think this is a great illustration of a human newborn, both in appearance and behavior, and it appears in the
Infant article. I took the photo, and it is my daughter, just seconds after delivery.

Oppose. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. The photo is of acceptable technical quality but it doesn't seem particularly feature-worthy to me. --

Support a fairly unique moment in a person's life captured nicely. And it would really be missing if it weren't in the infant article. --

Oppose. The foot/sock and the rest of the background is distracting. The doctor or nurse holding the baby seems robotic due to the composition of the picture (cropped head, holding position, visible portion of the hand looking more like a tentacle than a human body part) and the flapping, unnaturally colored protective gear (light blue and neon green -- the worst hospital colors!). Compare, for instance,
this photo from Flickr where the staff is wearing form-fitting white or dark blue coats and more naturally colored gloves. For the subject of childbirth, I'd like to see a series of pictures or a movie rather than a single snapshot, though of course a nice snapshot might always qualify for FPC status. All that said, congratulations to bringing a new life into this world. Maybe you can make another baby for us and try shooting some more pictures. ;-) --

Green gloves and blue coat I like it ! At least we see the oposition between the newborn baby and the medical environement.
Ericd 22:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Is there some rule that says medical environments have to look ugly and dehumanizing? ;-)
Eloquence* 22:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)reply
No, but they often are. Seriously I think the use of unatural colors might contribute to security, for instance a green glove will make a surgeon's hand contrast with the patient body.
Ericd 22:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)reply
I suppose that's true -- the flesh-colored gloves in the example above may be a bit extreme. Neutral white would be a reasonable compromise.--
Eloquence* 23:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Not sure if the protocol for a FPC is to support what you nominate, and I guess I am slightly biased, but: The distractions - the foot, the doctors hand, and the extreme coloring of hospital garb are an integral part of the scene. Those first seconds of life are rather difficult to capture, and I think it would be impossible to frame the subject with some more esthetically pleasing surroundings in this case. Although, I will try again next time ;)

Support I like it. My wife is due Dec 20th, so I'd give it a try, but unfortunatly my
Cannon S500 doesn't provide good enough pics. -
Ravedave 05:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)reply
The S500 is a perfectly capable point & shoot. You should be able to get decent quality photos out of it, if you work around its limitations (flash, mostly). --
Moondigger 13:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Yes, flash, I think, is the biggest obstacle for most point and shoot cameras. This picture came out as well as (I think) it did because of the overhead hosptial light. --
Ernest F 14:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)reply
The ambient light is often enough to get something without flash at 1/15s or 1/8s. Stop breathing and try not to shake camera. With some training you should be able to have an unblurred shot.

Strong support - you just cannot get a realistic picture of an infant just seconds after delivery without mess. I like it because it's real, not artistic; it's real life, real blood, real flesh and not some photoshoped & spotless landscape photo.
Renata 21:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Support. I completely agree with Renata. It isn't a sterile or perfectly composed image but it does what it intends well.

Oppose: The picture is only OK, and it doesn't add as much as it could to the article. Key parts of the body are obscured and half of the face is not even visible. --

Oppose The only thing keeping me from supporting is that is not 'pleasing to the eye'. It's a photo that i would place on top of the TV if I were a relative or something, but not one i'd like to have as a FP (with all due respect, of course).
Nnfolz 21:02, 31 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Being there, I can tell you that the event itself was not necessarily 'pleasing to the eye'! However, I don't believe a FPC needs to meet that criteria. For instance, the 'Warsaw Ghetto' candidate below is certainly not pleasing to the eye, however, it captures and illustrates the subject in a vivid manner.--
