This image has a great deal of personal resonance for me, for reasons that I won't go into. For me, it epitomises the uncertainties and anxiety of new motherhood. The mother leans protectively over her child, tenderly holding the little foot, while the baby sucks on her fingers and gazes out at her new world. It was a real "grab" shot, made in an instant, with no chance to focus carefully or change camera settings. I have removed an unattractive background and converted to mono.

Early testing of the Lensbaby.
