There was a time when 4.0 megapixels was a miracle, LOL.

It may be a different shot, but the coral gives your anonymity away which breaks our rules. You could try to change your avatar until after this contest.

Very nice composition to this photo. They eye travels around and back to the plant very easily. Good job.

MossyB says:

Cropping the right slightly to get rid of those two flash reflections would really strengthen this image - they are a bit bright and distracting from your focal point.

karaflazz says:

I don't know what are you shooting with,but keep in mind that flash washes away colors & creates nasty shadows if it's used directly on the subject/person.
The theme asks for hearts,so it would be good to use a softer/warm light source to bring out the feeling...
Just an opinion.

That's no "man with child," except in the most generic sense - it's Saint Joseph...Patron saint of carpentry, employment, an easy death and prevention from starvation (symbolized with fava beans, Chianti optional)...
The Christ child is holding an orb (the world), and the lily Saint Joseph is holding signifies purity, virtue, and life.

More data than you probably want to know:

A difficult shot, considering the strong sunlight and snow, but well done. Good clarity.

flare on the middle cards is a bit distacting -- maybe a different angle on the flash or soften it with a bit of tissue or plastic to act as a difusser

maybe ae reshoot or adjustment to the exposure or contast -- cards in the hand are a bit blown out

I think this would be a stronger shot if the focus was on the 'pyramid' of players and the ball with out all the other distractions. As it is, the action leads our eyes straight out of the shot.
