*Critique Club*

The kids skin appears unnaturally yellow. Lighting is very harsh on her face, creating bright hot spots and shadows. Her eyes are nothing more than black holes in her head. A fill flash could have helped this, or moving her to where the sun was in front of her rather than to the side could have helped.
Focus is a bit soft, would have liked to see crisp focus on eyes (if we could see the eyes)
Her hair is blending in with the background in the upper right. The very small patch of blue in the upper left is a bit distracting. Although, being from Michigan myself, the blue sky doesn't show itself very often, so catch it when you can. lol (how'd you like that snow last week?)
What I do like about this shot is the framing/cropping you chose. I like how she is to the left of the photo looking right with some space on her right. That creates visual appeal and a very nice comp in my opinion.
The colors in her shirt and background are good. Nice bright colors there. Just something about the color on her skin. Probably the lighting and or white balance.
Overall a cute photo, hurt by the lighting conditions.

sun's a little hash on this sweet little face -- but she sure does look happy!

It would benefit in adding some light in the left side of the face, qith a reflector or other similar, or rotating the model/subject.

Challenging lighting for this but you did ok with it. Too bad there isn't any "sparkle" in the eyes.

you should have slighly desaturated the teeth so they didn't look so yellow but not too much also white balance is off on right half of image use fuzzy adjustment
