Not like she is standing on a chair and could easily fall and she is not dangling the baby over the edge.

Gorgeous picture! The rest need to take a chill pill, the baby looks very happy and securely held.

The baby is being held and looked after, that’s the most important thing.

I couldn’t stand where she is standing as I hate heights, but if she is happy why should others call her out? To each their own is my motto.

They looked gorgeous and her girl in a matching outfit is perfect. I just can’t stand the sight behind her as I have a terrible fear of heights. One rung on the ladder is enough for me.

If a shot putter isn’t strong enough to hang on to a 6 month old then the rest of us are screwed.

Really? She clearly has a firm hold on the baby – how is there anything wrong with this? I have stood on the edge of cliffs for pictures holding my kids before. So long as you’re careful there is no cause for concern.

Seriously? You don’t get to judge this photo. There is nothing wrong with it. A mother recording a photo of her baby. A strong, athletic, loving and protective mother. If you have anxiety from looking at it, look away or don’t look.

  The funny thing is….all I see when I look at this photo is absolute joy! Maybe it does depend on perspective and how as a person things are viewed. I look on the positives and do not look for the negatives. I look at this image and see a proud woman and mother and joyous baby.

This photo does not make me nervous – I have complete faith that a strong athletic woman can hold a baby! Her grip with both hands – one on arm and one around leg looks secure to me. One happy bub and mum.

I’m sure there was no danger whatsoever, but I do wish balcony railings were higher!

I can imagine that when you are a bit afraid for heights, this rail can freak you. Personally I think it’s a lovely photo and baby seems happy & safe to me.

I couldn’t, stand on the balcony without getting jelly legs let alone hold a baby but it could just be the angle the photo was taken on. The photographer was obviously trying to capture part of the view which is not perfect. It was most likely the best shot without being dangerous but it makes my legs wobble just looking at it.

She looks like she has a good grip on the baby and she isn’t holding her over the edge or anything. I don’t think it’s a big issue, I’m sure the baby was very safe in her arms.

It makes me nervous in that I wish balcony railings were a bit higher!! I’m sure her bub wasn’t in any danger.

I’m sure the baby was safe. Some people are scared of heights, others aren’t. It’s hard when you have to analyze everything to ensure you’re not giving someone a reason to criticize you.

Yes, it makes me nervous, but I wouldn’t tell her so. It’s not overtly dangerous, so it’s her business.

I think it is a beautiful picture. Does it make me nervous? Yes a little as I know how much my little one wriggled and I don’t have a problem with heights. But how do I know if she just did this to get the view and baby in the same photo. For all we know as soon as the photo was taken, she didn’t move away.

I think it’s a beautiful picture. They both have a lovely smile!! 🙂
