Ah, you are so so so so so very good! Your daughter is beautiful, too. The thing that I like the very most about this (besides those eyes!) is the framing of your composition. It's so cool with the triangular shape of the swimming pool corner, underscored by your daughter's arms and hands. I see that it's time to make you a favorite photographer - can't believe you're not in there yet! LONG past due.

Spooky... She has the most engaging eyes - almost startling. Great editing.

Excellent composition, wonderful choice of duotone. The subject's shape leads the eye up to her face perfectly, where we see an unexpected expression. The background behind her head is an excellent counter-balance to the smoothness below. This is an exceptional image that stands tall on its own. Wish people weren't so hung up on imaginary "issues".

This is cool, crisp and gritty. This would wear a Blue under a tools challenge. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

Honestly, with the sepia tones, your daughter being thin enough to see ribs, and the pained expression, it strikes me first like one of the horrific shots from the Holocaust. Interesting shot. I probably would not take something so candid of my kid, but interesting and striking.

Nice photo, but I totally disagree with you on your decision to photograph your child that way.
