Really beautiful capture of this little girl, perfect moment and connection with her. I love the energy and playfulness in her eyes and you've caught that really well. The commenters pointed out the fact that this kind of border just doesn't help here, and in fact usually makes your score much worse, the border may help manage the very bright area on her hair, hard to know the best way to go with that. Your processing - imo - is ok, it looks a bit over saturated, a bit of a color cast and I think a bit soft on her eyes. But the important thing here is you've really captured her very well. NIcely done,

Jack

Why would she lick her sandal?

I would have scored this much higher without the border, I'm afraid.

the thing is a bit distracting, she is to cute for distractions.

It looks like she is licking (or has just licked) her shoe. And the bottom of it no less :-)

Cute girl, but I'm sorry, this just doesn't do it for me. It looks a little soft yet overprocessed, I don't like pictures of other people's tongues ;), and the green border is distracting. Still, it's not a BAD picture, just not my personal style. 5.
