Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus on the child's face, while using a nice depth of field to blur the distant portions of its face and hand.

Lighting: While everything is fairly evenly lit, it is also a bit flat. That probably came from using Hue/Sat to convert this one to BW. I am not very familiar with Elements, but if there is a Channel Mixer, give that a shot. While everyone has their own settings, 45%/32%/30% works pretty well for skin tones. If PSE doesn't have this, try some slight curves adjustments to bring some contrast back into the image.

Composition/Content: Great composition. This provides the eye a nice plane to flow across.

My Opinion: While not a Beatles fan (not familiar with their titles), I believe you met the challenge well. With some lighting adjustments, this one would have scored a bit better.

very good, though the baby's nose is a bit distracting! Perhaps a little more focus on the eyes too?

NOTE.... I'm looking at the image first and tyrying to guess the title. If I can't guess, I can't give high marks :-(

Nose in focus, but you have lost the eyes and forehead. Do you really want your viewers to concentrate on the nose?
