Well, I went for a drive today looking for some mountains that were not covered in clouds. Luckily there are mountains in every direction from my home. This one is about 15 min from my house, I found a little dirt road that ran along some cow pastures. If you are wondering what she is looking at it is the cows in the pasture next to us. And yes it was cold! She finally got fed up with me and said "Mommy, all done with the camera."
So I put her in the car to warm up and took some pictures of the cows.

Possible critiques.
Little soft focus(I was trying to get everything in focus, although I did focus on her face, it still is a little softer than I would have liked.)

Not sure if I processed the landscape the way it should be. (I am better at people than landscapes, I didn't do very well with one in a previous challenge, so I am nervous I didn't do this one right either.)

Yes! another top ten. I seem to be doing well with my portrait work but I am running out of models. My poor kids run when they see me get the camera out!

Very neat background for a portrait.

Fantastic shot. Love the softness in the grass and the mountains. Her look is perfect and so is the hat.

If I'm looking for something to nitpick, some of the clouds could use some more definition, but it's such a beautiful image I don't think it matters.

Oh this is gorgeous. I love her opposing red knitted cap with the complimentary yellow of the field and blue of the sky. This is perfectly done.
