First and most obvious, the background is too busy. Crop it. I like that the baby carts are facing in opposite directions, but the fathers are both facing left. We see three pairs of shoes, which means the eye searches the picture for the fourth pair. This is good; it makes us react to the picture beyond the obvious, "Lazy men, I will never trust my baby to its father." When you cannot compose the picture, you work with what you find, but composition will make or break the final result. Obviously you had to work with what you found and with one father awake you could not get much closer, but did you consider going down on one knee for a lower perspective? I would have at least done that, and perhaps you did. Overall, a nice thoughtful candid which catches the eye and makes a statement. Nice.
