Passport Picture - finally!!

It's been impossibly difficult to take a decent photo of Josiah to be used for his Australian passport application. Not only does the background have to be white/light-coloured, he has to be looking at the camera with head not tilted/slanted, and with his mouth CLOSED! That's the hardest bit! How on earth do you get a baby to close his mouth and take a picture? 

After several weeks of taking "failed" pictures of Josiah - either with him sticking out his tongue, head tilted, or arms flailing all around, I have decided to modify a picture of him that looks most decent out of the almost-hundred shots I've taken. So here it is....

This is the original photo from which the passport photo was derived:

Well, my photoshop skills aren't exactly good, and I have tried very hard to doctor the background such that it looks even. I am hoping hard that they will not reject this passport photo, if not I'll have to start all over again!!
