Gosh, she's gorgeous. Looks just like her mama (who will decline to vote on this one because she can't give an objective opinion, but thinks this picture rocks and deserves a 10).

This is a very nice family album shot. It is well composed but it verges on snapshot for me. I think the big problem is you didn't capture a catch light in her eyes.

The action and the pose of the little girl are delightful and very nicely captured. I think that this photo could have been even better if there were catchlights in the eyes.
