Thanx Melethia, you really felt what I was trying to convey in this photo. :)

I will disagree with several of your commenters. To me, it is *essential* to this image that the child's hand is slightly out of focus; it is not a flaw. It says so much more this way. I find it very deeply moving as well, to the point it brought me to tears for some reason. Really well done and underappreciated.

you capture the hands a moment *before* they grasp each other. this sets you apart from the others. well played! 8

I'd prefer a deeper DOF so the baby's hand were in sharp focus too. nice contrast though. 6

I would have liked it if all of the arms were in focus. I think the choice of B&W along with the black background is a very nice choice. nice detail int the father's hand. good job overall.

Beautiful lighting. I find hands to be tricky, but this is nicely done. Did there have to be clothes?

This should ribbon.

nice moment, I would have touched up the adults hand a bit, especially around the finger nails.

Very nice post-processing and tones.
Depth of field works well here to add dimension & scale.

Shame the child's hand is not in focus. Otherwise a beautiful image.
