A five-week babe

A friend gave birth in January and by the time I had the time to visit her, even though she lives in the same vicinity, the baby was already 5 weeks old. Rashes were forming on his cheeks.

I used 'Filter', 'Blur' and 'Suface Blur' (Threshold and Radiant were adjusted to between 20 to 25) to smooth out the skin, and exposed the pictures quite a fair bit as the baby was quite dark-skinned. It's a wonder to us because both his Chinese National parents were fair and were born in the North side of China.

I wished I had the courage to handle the baby. My friend handled and positioned the baby instead.
