This is Brooke and her 3 yr. old daugher Jadyn ... this shot is an outtake from a story I am doing on Brooke, she is a professional training for her 3rd bout in mid-April.
I wouldn't want to mess with her.

Thanks all for the comments.
I guess I should explain the angle and composition I chose because I got so many suggestions on it.
I shot down on the mother and child because standing at their level had them lost in the background (I did make photos like this)...and this was cleaner.
I shot this wide because, while I wanted to keep the subjects isolated I wanted to keep the punching bags in the frame to contribute information as to the type of the environment they were in.
I do wish that leg on the left were gone, but it was there in real life ..and so I leave it there. The moment was past when the leg was gone, so while the image could have been cleaner, the moment between mother and child was lost. Looking through the comments and looking at the photo again, it was probably too wide..but I still would want to keep the bags and background elements there.
Hope this doesn't come off as an excuse, but it's an explanation of wwhy I shot it this way. To tell a story and not so much to look as pretty...(though I did want it to look pretty).
Its really nice - a tighter crop wud have made this even more beautiful. The feet on the left side and the leg of the woman on the back distracts the focus from the mother and the kid 7
