Great points Geert....I agree. I am looking this shot and I have a sense a baby not comfortable in this situation. I don't feel a conenction between bab and Dad.  His hand doesn't send a message to me this little bundle is his everything. I don't feel a careness from him. 
Like your avatar, you kiss that little darling like she is your sparkle ( of course she is) a way you holding her hand that soft mothery touch.  I like tattoos...it is draw my attention to it more than a baby. BTW she is cute. Hope I wasn't too harsh. Good base image need a bit of a boost.
