You have achieved something out of the ordinary, Jos, and it works. It has a gentle and loving feel to it.
But I find it unsatisfactory to my eye because I want to see the child's face, not just its hand. That will be a very personal observation, some may only need the hand to be in focus, especially considering your title.
The lady's hair is in focus too, because it's in the same plane as the child's hand, but it's not the story, and becomes a distraction, taking attention away from the hand.
On the plus side, I like the shape of the large earring, and especially its shadow.

Thanks Paul & Pamela for your "correct" comment. It was my intention to get mother and child with their face, but... but there were lots of people between me and mother and child and when I had a clear view the "moment suprime" had past. But like the other pictures with child (I gone post them tomorrow) the children have a special "connection" with their parents. You can't get always the perfect moment that you want to some must settle for the almost perfect one.

First, welcome back, Jos. I hope that we can provide some fun and distraction here in the galleries.
I like your crop, and my only suggestion is a slight rotation to get the verticals straight.
I think that Paul and Pamela have said the technical and compositional stuff, otherwise: and I completely understand what you say about crowds. The perfect shot was one that got away - but you had to try.
Even in sunlight, raising the ISO a little can give you headroom for depth of field and avoiding camera shake. Modern cameras don't need to be racked to the minimum setting to give good results.
