What a great expression! I like the out of focus backgorund and the soft feel of this photo! IMHO, the bottom could be cropped nearer her crossed arms? It would help focus on her face! The composition is well done with her off to the side and the feeling of depth...well done

Get closer, get closer, get closer!! I would love to have seen a much tighter crop on this lovely child. I think it would be much more powerful, bring out the colors much more, and be a much more dynamic composition. I love her posture, and the look on her face, this is a very nice capture!

Nice portait, this may have benefitted from a closer crop, taking out area both behind & in front of the model as well as cropping of the portion below her elbows. this would emphasis her features more and remove alot of "empty space".

Great capture. Beautiful child, I would have liked to see a bit more light on her face, perhaps if you had used a reflector to bounce some light into it . Background is a bit busy, but not a real problem.

Could be more in focus.

I think I would have like to have seen this without so much of the soft blur on it. It still is a fantastic shot and I love the look in the girls eyes. Good Luck in the challenge!
