Greetings from the critique club!

Great moment you captured here. I see that there are some commenters that didn't tie this to the challenge which explains why you received a low score. (Most thought of dream as in what you do while you are asleep I guess).

As one commenter indicated there is a fair bit of noise here. I am not really sure why as you are using a fairly low ISO.

You did have a fairly wide aperture that caused some blurring. The other thing I would point out is that the focus seems to be on the mother's hand rather than on the baby's.

The conversion does work but I would adjust the levels to give it a bit more contrast as everything is rather gray with no blacks or whites at all.

Congratulations on your first grandchild by the way!

How does this fit into the Dreams theme? That and there is just too much noise.
