Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about. -- Me

this color / B&W effect suits pretty well : the baby is colourfull, which makes an excellent contrast with the dull B&W background. Talking about the background, i think the picture would have been "more perfect" if it had been more "interesting", i mean less empty ; and it is a pity to cut the bench this way (a bit harsh, violent with the 2 guys sitting on it) .
Is the kid looking toward us, or rather on our left side ? ...
I'm criticizing, but i know you cant MAKE the scene the way you want it to be... Capturing a baby like you did is a great art ! ;-)
