Nap Time

Hi
Wasn't sure about a category for this. Does the extra blur make this look weird? Personally I like the composition, but would like your opinion. Also, I tried warming it up a bit, but decided to leave it. Would you say it needed a little more warmth to it?
Thanks
Dave

Aw... I think it's precious just as it is.

That's cool. It looks great.

I love this shot - it really captures the moment. What lens did you use?

Thanks for your replies friends.
As someone who is new to photography I find myself doubting photographs that, if I hadn't taken them, would think they were good. This is a prime example. When I first registered here all my shots were in critique. Now I find, as I get more confident in my "skills" I share my shots more than put them out there for critique. There are still doubts in my head though and this picture is here, less for composition/subject and more for the technical aspect of post production, lighting and focus etc.
My camera is a bridge. A Panansonic Lumix DMC FZ38. It has a 18x Optical Zoom 27mm Wide-angle LEICA DC Lens built in, and at the moment does all that I want it to. When I reach the limitations, it'll be time to upgrade I guess.
Thanks again
Dave

I'm no expert, but I think you nailed this one. I like the DOF, the composition is really good - personally I wouldn't change a thing in this shot.

The shot is nice but I would prefer to see some part of the face as well.
