Heya gsxr1,
Its a really nice shot!..I really dont think you require any photoshopping on it tbh, I might have a few suggestions on the photo itself though.

The backround looks a little cluttered imo, theres too much going on between the door, the wall and the back room. I think a simpler, plain wall backround would help a lot. Although I like the DOF, (Apature setting) you got here.

I think it works well with the mother looking down at the child, you can definatly see the pride and love in her face. If im to be picky, id probably like the child to be looking a bit more straight. Or at least to be able to see some of her eyes. If you could get eye contact from the child it might work well too.

Love the tones youve captured, very nuturing and natural looking! I would however try fill in a bit more of the front of the childs face and the side of the mothers face with some extra light. Perhaps a bounced flash or even a reflector ( or white sheet for lack of one of them!) just to even out some of the shadows!…

Hope this helps you some, but remember its just my opinion! :D

Fantastic!…Id really love to see a large print out of this!…
Love the crop, but would be interested in seeing a version that includes a bit more of the left.

Great job!
