Very nice photo, my only 10 of this challenge. I like your choice sepia like tones for this photo, they work quite well. Normally photos of children leave me rather uninspired, typically they are just trying to get by on cuteness. Perhaps it is because the tones work so well with the sleeping child or because it has me thinking of my own daughter. Either way you accomplished what a good photo should...to move someone in some special way! Good luck.

Precious! THe lighting is great the way it highlights her face. I would have burned down her sleeve, so that it does not draw attention away from her face.

The lack of comments on this one surprises me. Glad I get the opportunity to add my words here.
I looked at the photo, then read your comments. Without seeing the comments, it's hard to tell that we are looking at a girl in the embrace of another person. Not knowing this, makes the photo seem odd. It makes one question...why is the right (our left) side of her face chopped like that. Why is her shoulder up so high by her face? Those questions are answer by the comments. Thank you. However, for the photo to speak on it's own, I think maybe if we were to see a bit more of the scene, it would make a bit mroe sense to us. Back it up a bit and show a bit of the other person. I know I would personally like to see the whole mouth. There is much emotion there, and it's muted by the fact that it just dissapears off the edge of the photo.
You already know focus is softish. Bad lighting, handheld, once in a lifetime shot, you know what happened, and you know what could have made it better. No need to badger you about it.
The background works very well. Nothing distracting there. Blurred very nciely to keep the focus on the main subject.
I like the coloring of the photo as well. Nice tonal range and I think the choice you made enhances the feeling of sadness in the photo. Very good photo and editing for the challenge.
Overall, very emotional shot, good for the challenge, but I want to see just a bit more.
