My baby girl 6 months old, wearing my dress that my grandfather bought for me in USA. My mother kept it for her all this time.

Thanks too all of you who are telling me the focus should be on the babys eyes and not on the roses of the beautiful stroller. I knew the moment I pushed the button on the camera that the focus was on the wrong place and due to me not being able to control the baby :) and being really inexperienced photographer I couldnt fix it.
Today I know better, I have been improving my technique, I have learned to manouver the camera better and what all the buttons are for.
I just really love this photo despite its imperfections and I wanted to show you. I see that inspite people focusing on the wrong focus some people are also see what I saw, so that makes me happy. And thank you anyway for telling me the focus is in the wrong place :)

I just want to say thanks to the really helpful comment about making the photo softer all over, I was actually thinking that myself too. I will try that, thank God my background is in prosessing and I am just a beginner at photography, I am hopeful that next year I will be much better.
And to those thinking the stroller couldnt be an apple of an eye, my friend the owner begs to differ :)

The point of focus is the fancy stroller, so is that the apple of your eye? There really isn't anything particularly strong that makes the image stand out.
I wish the focus was on her face and not the floral plaque on her pram, it's pretty but I feel that your focus really should be on the little one, especially since the title of the shot suggests you intended her to be the main subject.
I gave this a 5 and I'll tell you why. The title leads me to believe that the cutie pie in the carrier is the apple of your eye. But then the focus is on the carriage. So which is it? My preference would have been to see the babe in focus. Also, since you have such beautiful softness in the background, I would have wanted to see complementary lightness in front, instead of this strong black color.
Love the classic elements here. Very cute shot. I almost wish it was all soft focus -the metal in focus seems a shame with those beautiful baby eyes begging for detail.
I was totally LOVING this.. until I got to the flower oval... and I realized that the focus was on it.. instead of on the adorable baby. If you'd cropped it off before the focused flower oval... I think everyone would have "bought into" the whole dreaminess... *sigh*
Sorry but I think the focus should have been on the baby, and not the side of the stroller, but I like the coloring of the image, nice "retro" look to everything in the frame.
