I love the soft focus that softens the look of the overall composition. It creates a soft, dreamy, sleepy mood especially since we see the child's face in slumber. Wow, he/she has lovely, long lashes and there is some wonderfully sharp details to the closed eyelid and lashes. The red background is a bold and vibrant color but because of the soft focus utilized throughout most of the composition (diffuser?) it is not a leap off the page in your eye bold but a vibrant & soft to the touch red. The original has a much closer focus on just the eye and the nose of the face. Your composition pulls back to give us a view of the full face. While not a full zoomed shot focusing primarily on one area of the face I do like that the full face is shown and that it lines up on the diagonal. The child's face divides the composition in half diagonally with the chin resting in the bottom left corner the viewer's eye travels up the face to the top of the forehead which peaks in the top right corner. That diagonal division adds visual interest to the composition. I also like the soft smooth look to the skin that differs from the original which showed the skin texture off in great detail. It further compliments the mood of a dreamy, sleepytime mood.

Search has failed again, so here I go. I̢۪m not a fan of the soft look, but in this case it works. I feel that soft fuzzy place in sleep that all children, and sometimes-sometimes we get to enjoy as adults. 9

Removing the fact that this is a copy of the "Abstract Macro" ribbon winner (becasue it's not, and as far as I'm concerned it wasn't an abstract either, but I digress....), I like this better. Much softer and more evenly toned. Nicely done.
