Default Mothers Day Gift (Maybe?)

Please help me out, I am posting this picture of my grandson hoping that DPS members will let me know if this is something you would hang on your wall (Please be very honest). I had it printed on an 8 * 12 standout from Mpix and was going to give it to my daughter for Mothers Day. The problem is my daughter ( and the rest of my familly ) always tell me how great all my photographs are and I know sometimes they are just being nice and not honest. I don't want to give my daughter something awful because I know she will put it on her wall regardless. I am not very good at all with taking portraits. I know your supposed to ask a certain question for critique so if this has to moved I understand but would really like all your help. Any critique is fine and thanks in advance for all your help.

Mothers Day

I'm no expert ...
But, as a mother, I would LOVE to hang this picture on my wall, especially if it were my child. It is sweet, and captures a time in the child's life when they are growing so fast.

I think its a great shot, natural. Im a mom and would proudly hand it on the wall if he was one of my own. Love the crispness of the picture and the black and white conversion looks great! IMO
