Like the composition, but I'd like to see either a bit of Grandma's face, or, for the Maypo commercial ;-), a bit of smile on child...or bad face...but something...:-)

Couldn't get more of grandma's face or the child to change expressions, so I found this for you:

Hey Rainbow,
I do like the composition very much. The first thing that came to mind is that I think this is a "golden spiral".
I didn't know what that was until I competed in one of the challenges which was "The Fibonacci series/the golden spiral" and I think yours is a sweet example of that.
My eye just flows right over it ending right at the baby's face.

Very nice composition and I think your low contrast works with this image.

Here are some samples in case you didn't know about this already.

That is such an astute observation... I have a passing familiarity with both the concepts, but never consciously bring it to photography. I knew there was something pleasing -- I thought maybe the "reverse L" arm/space positions but think the "Golden spiral" hits it on the nose. Thanks!

(BTW, what low contrast?)
