What a wonderful, candid moment and you can tell the little one is not feeling all that well. It's in her eyes. And in yours. It's so hard when they don't feel good and you really can't do anything for them but try to comfort them, isn't it? I know, mother of 3 here.
This is a great shot, the expressions, the love that comes through is just fantastic. The crop seems a bit loose, using my magic envelopes (they are becoming famous you know) I took off the excess on both sides, bring the edges to the top of her head and the left side of your hat and it really makes the shot jump out at me more. Also the black and white points aren't really there for me and yes, my monitor is calibrated, a slight adjustments in levels or curves might really make this shot pop.
This is one you will want to print out for her and put in a safe place, it will become one she cherishes later on. Especially when she's 13 and yelling at you that you just don't understand and never will. Take the picture out and just say, "I will always understand." ;)
Composition is great as was the choice for converting to B&W.
Only negative point here was the "look" on his face clashing with the title in a way. Dad here looks a bit fed up or cross, as his eyes and forehead say ugh.
A tender moment shared between dad and daughter. I think that the centered composition may make this shot weaker than if you had cropped off some of the left side. I think the left side doesn't add to the shot, and by cropping in closer you'd be adding viewer interest to the shot.
