Subject information:	This was the morning of my youngest daughter's first birthday party. Pictured are my wife Angela and our youngest Nicole. Now I have a really good answer for all those people who ask "When are you going to celebrate your daughter's birthday?". Being a Leap day baby this seems to be a major concern to people. Well due to typical child hood illnesses we ended up postponing the party almost a month. So in the future the answer will be "When ever we get around to it".

A leap year kid... Wow, that's not seen too often! So, assuming she was born on February 29th 1996, she still has to see her first "real" birthday party, right? :)

I'd crop it closer to emphasize those wonderfully happy expressions--in fact, it seems that *everyone* involved is proud and happy. As usual, I'm a softy for a child's smile--and a mother's; that's the only reason I'd move in a little. I can see you're a proud papa, and with reason!

I see the cropping suggestion, and raise some bokeh. Putting the picture on the wall more out of focus would also help emphasize your subject.
