I really like the lighting and tones on this one. I like that there are no heavy shadows. Great shot.

Better lighting and sharpness could've made this one better.

This image would have been better with an interesting background. Maybe something green to look like grass?

The person in the background is distracting and the blown out area a little overpowering.

Baby is not in sharp focus and you can't see her eyes. Babies have the most amazing eyes and I find that if you don't capture them you lose the emotion. In this case maybe that's not so important as it is a more candid type shot and not a portrait but I still find myself wishing I could see her eyes a bit better.

Great idea. Everything seems out of focus though.

Nice idea, but needs more improvement. B&W usually works well for family photos that show us contrast and opposites, like here, old and young. I would improve sharpness: the baby is out of focus, though, I think it's important for opposites to get both subjects clear and sharp. Very few out of focus opposites work well IMHO. Backround is busy, the door or wall or whatever is too bright and the person with the striped top is distracting, too. Shame you cut off the baby's hands, for me, the composition would be working if I saw her (his?) hands, therefore I would have left more space on the right and bottom. The baby is looking at something in her (his?) hands and I miss this thing a much! And a more homogenic background, and focus on both characters. Maybe lighting didn't help you with this candid shot, but it would have been important.
