I think those are good ideas...I took a number of frames, including some similar to what you suggested, but ended up preferring the one I showed. I did try shooting from the bed, with things parallel, in a more environmental but less intimate version...is this along the lines of what you were thinking? http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/paw/2006_06/images/alt1_00160020adj.jpg I would have liked to have his closed eyes more in frame, but I couldn't find the right angle the way he was sleeping. I tried a few frames focused on his eyes, but in the end I preferred the one focused on his hand...to me the story was about the hand curling up over the edge of his crib, hanging on to whatever he could grasp. Perhaps next time I'll find him in a slightly different position and end up with something like you imagine...I'll certainly keep watching for it.
