AIBU to really dislike this picture of baby Rooney?

[saltandvinegarcrisps1]

It's such a weird position for a baby to be put into.

It's a series of photos stitched together. Standard practise when doing 'baby photoshoots'

It's likely to be a photoshop jobby with two or three pictures cut and pasted together. I have a photographer friend who does those twee photos who told me that that's what they do.

Really? Why would anyone want such a thing? How very odd.

newborns are crazy flexible. as you can see by the fact its asleep! i'm pretty sure the baby is 100% fine.

There's a gazillion baby pics like this, why single out the Rooneys?

Typical baby photoshoot pose, Anne Geddes style, a bit naff imho.

Who is baby Rooney?
I find those posed of newborn babies extremely weird. Why would you put your baby in a flowerpot or cake? Contort their features or photoshop them? Odd.

I think it’s cute

Looks photoshopped, don't worry op.

I don't like the newborn photo shoots. The babies are always asleep and they look a bit creepy - reminds me of the photos in The Others (and don't get me started on cake smash photos...)

Oh I HATE that type of baby photo.

So unnatural looking - folded in half propping up its head? Why? No baby ever does this, it looks grotesque!

when I was a kid I would see these and freak out because I thought they had actually posed a poor wee baby like this.

I think they are grim.

also people's own natural baby pics are so nice! Why does anyone like these?

Just looks tacky and unnatural.

Doh! I honestly didn't think of Photoshop! It is a it freaky though.
Alonso - cos this is the one in the OK magazine I was reading in the bath.

I think 'grotesque' is a smidge of an over statement.
Cute baby
Pic is altered
That's about it

You do get idiots who don’t realise this is photoshop and try to recreate it at home though.

I've never seen one of these photoshopped baby shoots before. I think it's horrible. Twee at best, at worst uncanny and creepy. Yuck.

I stand by my 'grotesque'. These distorted photos are just that.

I just don't get the appeal of a photo of a baby seemingly forced into an unnatural pose.

I do think it looks creepy.

Another "creepy" from me. Though as long as no actual babies were harmed in the making of it, meh.

I didn't realise it was a photoshop, but I never put much thought into it apart from how a baby was strong enough to support his head in his hands!

A woman I know well has just had a photo shoot for her two week old baby. In a flowery headband. I am beyond shocked as she did not strike me as the type.

Not keen on those type of shoots but he's a gorgeous baby isn't he?

Who is he/she? Why is he/she named after a potato-faced footballer?
