What's Wrong with this Image?

If your question is about photography, I think it's a very good high key presentation.  You addressed the tricky lighting very well.  If it's about the subjects, then there's a very puzzling role reversal going on ;-).  Well done either way... Mike

Yeah, well I know what's wrong with it from a photography standpoint, but I couldn't really control that. The young girl had bright light in her face , the mother's face was in deep shade and the background was really bright.   But I couldn't exactly ask them to move or the moment would have been lost.  It just told such a wonderful story so I couldn't resist sneaking a picture of them. I only got one shot before the girl looked up. I just found it an amazing reversal of roles... And besides, how many young girls this age would be seen out in public sitting on their mother's lap?  I thought you might like this one because you're an expert at getting pictures of people in their natural environment.

Even though the exposure was difficult, my first post was too high key and bland looking to me, so I tried bringing back some of the shadows to give it a bit more dimension.  I know it's not a great image, but the story was worth posting, IMO.  Thanks!
