Nice. But I really don't like colour of the border. I can't look at the image because the border is so annoying.

I will say that it's a nice shot. I somehow don't feel that the image goes well with the title or headline. To me she doesn't look too happy.

This goes in order of what comes to mind first:
1) Cute, but...
2) I'd like to see more expression, I just know that a smile would look adorable on her face, but why isn't there one?
3) It's obviously posed and it even could be but make something be happening, give it some life, have her look at the camera and connect with the reader.
4) Great clarity and sofness/sharpness.
Score: 5

Hmm....probably would've been better if you used a fill flash. Colors look a bit dull. Saturation might have helped a little.

Great photo with obvious appeal for newsworthiness.
