Thanks, Lara. I didn't want her chances at the contest to be ruined by having one less picture than the rest of us.

I don't think it matters that we can't see Baby No. 5's toes. She is amazing!

And the rules say "Full body"... She is pretty though. There are a lot of really great babies...but I made it easy on myself and voted for mine!

I can't see Baby No. 8's toes at all with shoes on. I really don't think when Lara set the rules as "Full Body" that we had to see every part of their bodies - then they would all be naked baby pics?

I think everyone would agree that as long as we see enough of the baby to decide on who we are going to vote for, then that is just fine

Really?
This is a contest not critique. I think if the pics are entered then they must qualify or Lara would have corrected before posting?
The rooting on number 5 is amazing. We are voting on the best work, not outfits or posing or photography.
If everyone votes for their own regardless of the workmanship, it seems someone would be missing votes for a job well done?
Just my opinion.

Indeed, if they didn't qualify then Lara would have had the entrant send a different photo. Number 5 qualifies just fine and the rooting is amazing, but I voted for the best painted, in my opinion. That's all these contests are, OUR opinions and thankfully we all don't have the same taste. I didn't enter so I was able to choose freely the one I liked best. That's all any of us can do really, just choose the one you like best and not pick apart other entrants.

I agree. I am not entered either and always vote for the entry I like best. I'm just saying this is not the time or place to comment on the entries IMO

Oh, I do think baby 5 is gorgeous, I just like mine better -which is why I made her like I did and voted for her. Like Karen said we don't all have the same taste. It's fun to see the variety we all come up with in a class like this. I like how each lady puts her own "self" into her baby and the art of it comes out in the contest entries. I wish we could have a class gallery where everyone who took the class would post pictures of their baby in one place/one page so that we could see ALL the babies at once. I know a lot of people aren't ready when the contest happens so quite a few ladies don't enter and we miss seeing their pictures. They might post pictures of their baby separately, but it's fun to see them all together. (am I even making sense?! )

Beautiful babies ladies...made it hard to vote but I finally narrowed it down. I go by the skin tone and how realistic the baby appears...that's what is important, IMO. When you take off the clothes and accessories, the baby needs to be awesome, so that is what I look for. I wasn't in this contest, but even if I was, I always vote for the best, not always mine.

I was wishing "all of the above" was one of the voting choices! they are all beautiful. Lovely work Ladies! These contests get more and more difficult as we progress in our skills. And that IMHO is all Lara's fault for putting together the wonderful classes. Oh how I wish someplace like this was available when I started reborning. If that were the case almost 6 years ago, I would maybe be getting the money Romie is getting by now for my babies Or at least I may have made and sold a
Moon Baby" by now!......

Baby hugs,
Audrey

All beautiful babies! Very hard to vote for just one!

You're so cute, Audrey! I agree though, Lara's classes and eBooks really help. I'm so glad I found this forum last May when I was hoping to start reborning!

I know thats right, is that CP 3-0 you are holding? Or do they call that R2-D-2? Them creatures was always out there wasn't they, you have really interesting taste by far!! Once my son was darth vater in a halloween contest, My oppinion is that all the babies are beautiful and in their own special way. Everyone works hard to do the best baby they can for the contest.

Yep, that's R2-D2 in my picture, I'm part of the "R2-D2 Builders' Club" and the R2 in the picture with me is the one I built.

I agree, every baby is beautiful in it's own way. I just love to see the variety that can be achieved with one kit in the same class.
