True love? explain! Apart from that it is a poor, noisy, overexposed crap image.

I think such a shot should be kept in your private photo collection, Jaroslaw, especially if this is your wife and child... I'm not very prudish, but I would never post such photos...

not sure if this is a real good example to be showing your child to pose in his/her underwear beside mom who is in her panties and without a shirt on having her photo made for the internet.

After seeing the well thought out and eloquently expressed responses you've received so far I thought and that my opinion could be added as well.
First of all, I see nothing wrong with the subject mater: both the kid and his mom are sufficiently covered, even for the more prudish among us, and the image is really cute and has a lot of artistic potential. Second, for me the image does not reflect the title at all: it is original but does not evoke love. There is nothing wrong with the noise, but the shadow on the woman's arm is pretty distracting and the large burnt out area in front of her is straight out unpleasant. I think it would be worth to try re-shooting this one, especially since the models might be easily found.

Great work. Lovely tone and overall treatment.

PS: I'm embarrassed about the aggressiveness of some comments.
