Personally I think this is one of your less interesting images. Partly because it is a baby pic and I don't like most baby pics, but also because there is too much to see in the background. I think a crop just above the baby would make it a more intersting image.
The extended arm does not bother me in itself as I like that type of effect wide angle produces, I think its the blur from the movement of the babys arm that is the distracting element. If it where sharp I think it would have been better, almost as if baby was about to point to something.The dog in the background adds interest.
"You with that camera. Get it out of my face!"
That is what I think the baby is thinking. More likely the baby sees camera as toy and wants it ;) Lovely.
I love the dog peeking into the shot from behind. I'm not as bothered by the POV as the others, possibly because I've been working with wide angle a lot recently myself.
The baby has great eyes - I would like more light on the subject, I think. Agree with bsluijk that the extended arm and hand are disorienting in a disturbing way, probably because the distortion is so unexpected in a baby picture.
This is a disturbing shot. Technically well executed, with perfect focus on the baby, but there is a huge distance, as if (s)he is in a different world. Her hand tries to reach us, but gets lost in the blur and never connects. The dog in the background, peeking over the bed, only emphasizes this.
