I do not take many people pictures so I thought I'd give it a go today. This is Megan my youngest daughter. She was sitting in the backyard reading while dad hovered around snapping pictures.
Edits: I extended the grass to cover a garden hose and part of the house, removed an eyebrow piercing and some pimplettes, performed localized sat/hue on the flesh tones, and blurred the background.
Oh Hell. I just noticed that she has a yellow neck. I'm going back in.....
OK fixed it...

Nice photo, but I agree with mad_brewer that the grass is drawing attention away from your daughter. A decent black & white conversion would help with this.

I'm a bit surprised that you removed the eyebrow ring. You may not like it, but it's part of who she is right now.

I think it's hilarious that you removed her eyebrow ring. You should do that to all of her pictures...I bet she'd hate that. :)

Great shot Ron, bit of a green cast overall though and perhaps could use a tad of fill as its a bit flat, also could use a true black and white.

Still very nice, great connection with her

Lovely relaxed portrait of your daughter who seems to be looking at her dad with a mixture of love and patience that 'the old man is taking pictures again'

Nice softness to this and the green of her top counterpoints nicely with the grass

Nice portrait, and I know how hard they are. You've captured a nice expression. Just a couple thoughts... The green grass is begging for attention since it seems more saturated than your daughter. Also, the hose in lower left is a slight distraction.
