I really liked the original but I absolutely love the redo.

That is so pure.

Looks blurry rather than soft-focus. Soft-focus still needs to communicate that the photographer knows how to focus. Could do with a slightly tighter crop to remove whatever is behind the baby's head and the other person's shoulder for more impact. Baby's face is slightly overexposed. I'd prefer a little more photo above the person's eyes. Was it deliberate to chop the ear?

like the b/w, it's just a little too soft ...

Great shot of the baby, I would have had mom's eyes open and looking at the baby though.

the angles, softness, and contrast to black background make this a vitalizing and capturing image. nice work.

like the connection between the two - soft focus really works - one of my ribbon picks

Nice Photo Good black and white.
Maybe a bit too much glow on the skin and the focus looks a bit off.
Pretty Mommy and her baby.

nice ambient glow, maybe a bit sharper and it would be a 10.

Nice idea but too soft... it feels plasticy

Were it not for the focus issue, this would be in my faves. Please don't tell me you softened it in post proc - the result only hurts an otherwise beautiful image. If you like it however, that's all that really matters. ...except in regards to the challenge placement of course. :) For the record, I am giving it a 7 - it deserves that.

The distinct border of the 2 faces against the black background remind me of those hourglass photos. Great symmetry going on there. Nice soft tones and smooth skin. The focus is slightly off - having the ears out of focus works well here but the eyes and lips need some more.
