By right I actually meant left! :) There is something about the shot that I like very much. I don't agree that every single shot of a mother with child should be soft or display excellence in sharpness. After all it's not about proving how good a camera or lens is.

Photo is out of focus. Harsh lighting/over exposed areas on face really take away from the photo.

Very nice image, and the B&W is just the right tone.

Just not sharp enough to score. Also, I think the strong contrast works against this type of 'soft' subject. Moms and babies are often shot using very soft focus and sometimes soft filters.

Would be better if it wasn't so washed out.
