Nice intimate shot, naked baby might have worked even better on this one. Regardless, this one will do well.

Really gorgeous: if this weren't a Basic Challenge, it could have done with some dodge on mom's face.... Love the clarity and composition...8

I think getting rid of the diaper would've really enhanced this shot.

A lovely scene, to be sure.

Some things I personally would prefer... flattening the mother's shirt just a bit so I could see the infant's face just a bit more. And realizing that it's complicated, slightly better light on the parent's faces (not enough to detract from the infant, who is the center of this image, but enough that they are not in darkness). For example, the father's neck is too bright, while his face is too dark. Perhaps bringing the light around to the front just a little bit more would help? Or else block the light reaching his neck so it doesn't detract from his face...
