Help appreciated

I'd really appreciate some feedback on this one ... it's so very out of my comfort zone; but the picture was mostly dark with just this ray of sun shining on her face, just after she gave birth to this great big, beautiful baby. The look on her face is so serene and happy ... just didn't lend itself to frames and bows and stuff. What do you think ... is it all right as is??? ..thanks! ..Abby

p.s. here's the link to the baby layout I did, which is my normal, comfort zone kind of layout ... thanks for any help! ..Abby

I have to say I love the 2nd one much better, but the first one is nice too. I'm a newbie so I won't give advice. The layout in the post I just made is similar to yours!

They're both gorgeous LOs. The first one has such a wonderful vintage feel to it and its a lovely photo. The second one is bright and pretty - just like it should be for a baby girl :)
