Thank you for your comments, they are always in the way to make things better.
About this pictue I think that md8speed is right, i.e. with greater aperture and less speed you would have gained a better depth of field and all the gold would have been in focus.
The way it is now the first thing you look at is the part of the gold that is not in focus. With that fixed I think you would have scored around 6.
The flowers add a lot to the picture and a black background would only make this a picture of a music stand instead of capturing a scene.

IMO the tight crop at the bottom is making the picture more like a window. The crop at the top is ok. The light is a bit harsh, making the shadows dark on the neck. The focus is good and the subject is a beautiful child. Love the light in the hair and also how crisp the focus is on it.

The way to prevent overexposure is to make all the picture darker when you take it. If you don't have the oppurtunity to cover the sun or take the picture at another time!. Afterwards in PS you can lighten up without loosing details. I have the same problem where I live, i.e. the clouds get very light (white) so I have to take darker pictures and selectively adjust them.
I don't have photoshop but I use GIMP, a free software on the net, to edit my pictures.
Good luck.
