I'm no expert on composition, but my knee jerk reaction is the same as Marvin's. I feel the background isn't working well. It is distracting me from the mother and daughter. I've seen your work and it's very beautiful, so I've no doubt you'll work it all out!!

Amanda,
One other thought to add to Steven's, you might try to grey down and reduce the overall contrast to the background. I feel as if the tableround is crowding the stars.
Also, be sure to straighten that lamp.
