What's there to like about this picture, other than its proper exposure and focus? I'm sorry to say this, but it's just not interesting in any way: no unusual perspective, no interesting composition, no particularly good colours/shapes/textures, no plot or story behind it.

I don't understand what moved you to send this in for a challenge.

I don't mind the subject (and I'm American), but just want to see more of the flag instead of it so limp.

An american flag where the rotation appears slightly off. Nice to see that it is a square crop.

As one of the many non-U.S participants on this site I don't find this shot interesting at all. Hopefully for you, your country men and women will not vote as harshly as me. -3-

Nice colors, just wish the flag was a bit more unfolded.

Very cute shot.

Are you using layers to edit out the background? If not, you may want to try that. The background is still a little distracting and the transition between the little girl and the background has a bit of the halo effect which I think is a tell tale sign of editing.

Great work for your first portrait shoot!
