Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a cute candid and could have done better with a little more work. And no I don't mean in PS sense, and there you did a good job of simply removing a few odds and ends and not drastic changes to the image
However...first off, she's facing into the sun and squinting, so her lovely eyes are in shadow and there are areas of strong glare on the nose and cheekbones. Similarily the shadowed background behind her head splits it in half and detracts from her. The oof hand doesn't bother me as it gives a sense of depth and place. I understand that it's hard to capture children when they decide to be cooperative, which may not be for long. But a lower ISO and much faster shutter could have helped to reduce the amount of glare and shadows, and those in turn could have been taken down a bit by something as simple as covering up the light source (a window, I'm guessing) with a white sheet or similar translucent item, to soften and diffuse the light a bit.
Overall not a bad attempt and she looks like a delightful subject. Watch your light and settings a bit more closely and above all, experiment. Practice does make perfect.
Keep on shooting and entering!
Feel free to PM me

| I am surprised to see this one finish where it did & not a single comment during the challenge. I thought it was a wonderful candid moment. |
