You are the most important man in your child's life. Period. No one will replace you in any way, as long as you are there for your daughter.
My husband's father got remarried to a nice woman who we love dearly. Is she the same as his mother? Nope. If she passed away, he would grieve and be sad. If his mother passed away, he would be devastated and never "get over it".
If this boyfriend disappeared from her life, she might be sad or ask for him a few times. If you disappeared, she would ask about you constantly and be devastated later on.
You cannot control what your ex does, especially if it doesn't endanger your daughter, which this doesn't. I recommend ignoring it, and enjoying time with your daughter as everyone has suggested. If it makes you feel better, take some corny pictures with her and post it to your facebook.
Have you met your ex partner's new boyfriend? You're forming opinions on a photo? It sounds like more of a jealousy issue on your part. The more people in your daughters life that love her and are looking out for her best interest, the better. Sit down and have a talk with your ex's new boyfriend. He may be a decent guy that loves kids. Strange but true there are people like that out there. Everybody getting along and respecting each other is in your daughters best interest.
Our lives are expanded with new people. Be happy that another person seems to take an interest in your daughter.
BTW---What the heck does this mean, "nor does she yearn for any monetary support for my daughter." Do you not pay child support? No wonder the old GF is looking for a new man in her life. Fathers pay for their children because it's their responsibility, not because the mothers "yearn" for monetary support. That little bit will do more in the long run to harm your relationship with your daughter than another man in your Ex's life.

I hope the OP comes back and answers that one. My thought was he was not paying.

I interpreted it as he pays his child support on time.
