Wow! what a photograph and not because it's a baby or Lucy even, it's the angle and colour and shadowss.

Was she born premature?

Cheers Janer,

I meant to fill in a bit more detail in the description. This photo was taken at four days old when she was in the Special Care Baby Unit in the Coombe.

It's pretty much the most emotionally charged photo I think I've ever taken and carries a huge weight of memories. Since you've seen my other albums, you know that she's a happy bouncing baby by now!

Thanks for your comments!

Incidentally, the colour's come out a bit flat, BUY THE BOOK and you'll get a much better reproduction along with 97 other brilliant images!

Amazing photo Dakar. In my top 5 from the book.

+1 what punkrock said. The colour and angle really make it a well taken shot.  It's brilliant.

Glad to know baby Lucy is happy and healthy now :)

Love the texture of the blanket/sheet which really brings you into Lucy's and all babies environments.  Congrats on appearing in book. V.  At how many months was Lucy born?

Thank you for your comments. As always, they're very considered.

She was a couple of weeks early, so not too premie, but had some problems. We carry a huge debt of gratitude to the wonderful staff in the Coombe.

Now I spot your photo from the book.

Having had 2 children (well my wife had them), being there for their birth is simply.........a miracle!
