This just screams "snapshot". The unkempt appearance of the kid makes this a sub-par photograph, even by snapshot standards.
At DPC, pictures of kids tend to be graded by a slightly different standard than some other subjects. So unless the image is well done (from a photographic, compositional standpoint) they usually don't score well. When the parent sees a picture like this they may feel a rush of love and adoration. But since the rest of us have no such attachment to the kid, all we see is what's in the picture. In this case the picture contains a messy looking baby.
I appreciate that you got down to get a better angle for this shot, but all in all it's not much more than a snap shot of your little girl looking at the paper. Your title even brings that feeling off more. With someone of this age running around the house, I feel that you could have come across a more universally appealing shot for the voters.
