you seem to have hit all the points of the "compass" of good great photography on this one. A great looking model with lots of character. something more than just staring at the camera. a crisp b&w conversion and a dof that really gives it some punch. excellent work. i have an entry in this challenge but unlike a lot of people i have no problem voting in an unbiased manner, because i love photography. i fully expect to see this on the front page. /10

a good shot that is hurt by oversharpening and the harsh shadow on the wall made by the flash /5

you're probably going to get a lot of comments that say this is a little too "snapshotty" and i would have to agree. all the stuff in the b/g only serves to distract and it would be much better to have sat the baby up more so that his/her face was more toward that camera.
NOW that being said, these types of shots are precious and to be kept carefully where they cannot be lost. I would assume from the shot this is his great grandchild? I envy that, my grandmother died 5 months before my first child was born. I would have loved my children to know her. enjoy seeing this as much as you can for as long as you can.
