The strong sunlight makes this image quite contrasty... lighting would be better early or late in the day. The girl is a bit overexposed and out of focus.

Comment by ubique:
A lovely, literally charming photograph. It manages to be both a smile-inducing family 'snap' and a really superb photograph at the same time. That's because it just looks like the former while actually being the latter. I think it's comfortably the best and most interesting picture in the challenge. Thoughtful, unusual, clever, photographically irreverent and perfectly executed - it's not often someone at DPC produces a picture with this kind of genuine substance and durability, that appears so modest at first glance (it's more usually the reverse). 10 and thank you. Plus the best-avoided Order of the Thumb:

compositionally, the photo is well done. Though naming your image the "coop" doesn't make up for the fact your main subject is out of focus.

Nice composition but I'd rather the munchkin in focus than the yard behind.

Focus is behind the subjects, as I realize your title, that might be what you intended. I am changing my vote from a 5 to a 7. :)
