My beautiful baby boy..
Changed in Lightroom to Antique Grayscale a adjusted the exposure a little. Then I added a Gaussian blur to the girl in the background.. I love the look on his face..

What a sweet boy little, I love the composition. You'll find that DPC voters tend to feel that sharpness is paramount. Photos lose clarity when resizing, so you may need to experiment with resize techniques & parameters (e.g., bicubic, bilinear, etc.). Check out the DPC tutorials on saving for the web, too.
You've chosen a soft focus for this. Sometimes having something, however small, in perfect focus enhances the overall soft effect. Sepia works well.
Sometimes we take photos that mean a great deal to us because of our affinity with the subject. Perhaps that's the case here. But I don't have an affinity with the subject, so it's not as interesting to me.
