She is ADORABLE!!! You wouldn't know you know nothing about portraits :) It looks great.

As far as composition -- I don't know if it's must me -- or something that's official, but it seems that they eye finds it more pleasing for the subject to be looking towards the negative space rather than away from it, so if this were my portrait, I think I would crop it so that there was less negative space on the right, but more on the left. But if you don't have any more on the left, I think it would still be okay to crop it on the right and just have more of a fill-the-frame portrait.

Course, that just may be my personal tastes and not worth a hill of beans either :)

The composition looks good. You have nice DOF which makes your daughter stand out more. Great job on the desat. I haven't tried that yet. Will be real hard to do it on my kids because they have really brown eyes. As for lighting, I would try near a window to get some filtered ambient light. That might help show off her beautiful face to make it pop more and add some highlights. Just a suggestion, because I too don't have any special lighting.

You nailed the description when you said the clouds were perfect and looked like they were inside the dome. AMEN.

Besides being a good technical shot ... the faces in the audience really take this up a step.

Comment by jonfrommk:
Great reflection (which I am always a sucker for). From a personal perspective mght have prefered a slightly tighter crop at the top rather than graded effect, but this is simply because the rest of the image is so tight and on the mark

What a beautiful illusion created by the round reflection. That reflection is amazing. You can see as much texture in those stones in the water as you can the real thing. Fabulous!
