In the face highlights and the dark spot in the hair bothers me a little, more natural tones would be better in my opinion. The expression and look into the camera are very good.
I think I follow that this would go into the wood frame as the others, would it replace one of them, or are those other shots, they appear to be untouched non-digital shots in the frame.
Sometimes bad backgrounds are overlooked and not noticed with Candid closeups and posed shots of family such as this. I wonder how bad the original might be. If the background can be blured through wider Aperature and longer Zooms that can be another way to remove the background. I've also been lucky using bounce flash for interior shots. I've also used burning and dodging of background to lighten or darken to help the subject stand out.
In your previous grandkids post I like the top one, the second is similar to this with contrast, and the eyes bother me(something not quite right, was it red eye removal, but then affected by post processing further?), The other shot in that thread is nice with the background removed and more natural tones than others, although contrast is still on high side for my liking.
