The original had lots of distracting colour that just got worse when I tried to up the exposure.  Especially the blue on the baby that looked as if it was some sort of bizarre UV light or something against the big scary yellow patch. That's always a sign it's worth trying in black and white.

If you shot the picture RAW you should be able to get some more detail out of that slightly annoying highlight on the baby's head and still bring up the father's face a little more with a little post-processing. Or send me the RAW and I'll give it a shot - I'm playing with the Aperture 2 trial version which is rather a nice toy.
