 We went for a walk and I bribed Cartesia to pose for me. Even when posing she seems to always be moving so if I get the shot in focus I consider it a good day. This pictures cost me a nickel.

I don't like the fence going through her head but my attempts to get rid of looked awful. I'm not sure about the crop and am open to ideas.

Awwww! She looks so sweet! I love the colors and the clarity is wonderful! The fence is a bit distracting, but should really be an easy thing to clone out. Just zoom really close with the hair area. At the very least, lasso it and desat the white on it to turn it a bland color.

I told her to look at the camera, which is why she looked away!

Definately well worth the nickel!! She is such a beautiful model and I am so glad to see someone else posting pictures of their kids as much as I do! I like the crop and the expression.. looks to me like she's pondering what she's going to spend that nickel on! Too cute!

Well you certainly nailed the focus :)
I like how the hair conceals the right eye, thereby drawing the focus to the left. I also like the compliments of the green/orange of the shirt/background.

I guess my only criticism would be the somewhat flat lighting, but that was out of your control. I guess her skin really is that perfect!
