This will bring back memories years from now. It is a good snap shot, but has potential to become an artistic piece too. I think many elements of the background distract from our scrunched-face subject. On the right hand side of the image, consider cropping just outside of the baby's left elbow and before the white verticle background element (eliminating most of the dark part of the background past the gloved hand), even though it breaks a rule and cuts off the gloved index finger. On the other side, converting the green fabric to something much darker or even black might be tried in Photoshop.
A super moment captured for posterity - and a well taken photo, too. I am curious, 'though, as to why the mother is wearing rubber gloves; bathing your baby is such an incredibly tactile event that it seems a shame.
That baby does NOT look happy :P The light reflecting off his arms feels harsh, is it from the flash or the bright lights of the room? I feel that a closer crop on the left side would improve the composition for me.
