Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
Lovely picture ... she looks a little uncomfortable .. but I think it is the outfit.
Composition:
This is good, the eyes are on the thirds line, the way that is is looking up captures the colours in her eyes, the shoulders look a little stiff and uncomfortable - perhaps an unnatural pose for this child.
Subject:
This really does meet the challenge well ... so often we forget about children being our success (even if not our own).
Technical (Colour and light):
There appears to be a little much red in the face, though this may be her. The focus is good and crisp so that we cn make out each freckle.
To grow its vote?:
I think that the other crop you have in your portfolio may have done better ... it removes the suface fluffyness of the dress which the child looks slightly uncomfortable in. Although it doesn't seem quite as sharp and this may be why you choose not to enter than one.
Summary:
This is a really good pic, I hope you offered her dad a print.
