This was taken at Granville Island in Vancouver. I love the expression on the old man and his gnarled hands holding the baby.
But I am thinking a little bit more fill on the cute couple would help, and maybe even converting to B&W, because color doesn't add anything.

Thoughts?

My advice. Crop square and go B&W, low contrast.

Yes. It looks less like a snapshot and more like a portrait. Good capture. Not sure the f-stop there. He looks touch OOF.
