First Impression - the most important one: This is lovely, it is a truely candid shot, maybe missing a little, but is still a good human study.
Composition: This is nice, but only nice, the lack of light on the childs face is an issue, but its a candid and we can not control everything. But perhaps adding a little brightness may have helped. The colours of her outfit really help her to stand out.
Subject: Meets the challenge with full gusto.
Technical (Colour and light): The lighting is the issue here, but you are outside and using what nature provided ... good DOF usage, and a well cropped pic with the litttle girl on thirds.
To grow its vote?: It is not a stuning picture and you will note from the ones that won that they were. Keep practising .. you will get there.
Summary: You have a great buildd up in your portfolio .. keep shooting.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.
Children are so easy to capture in a candid. They rarely hold back emotion and always tend to be doing something out of the ordinary from adults. In that, candids with children, to me, must have something exceptional going on in order for me to feel interest from them. This is ok. It does show emotion in the eyes, but it isn't exceptional to me or anything out of the ordinary. It's just an ok candid. It's a 4 from me.
