Delightful high key portrait. Maybe a bit too much high key effect at the top.

I love the overexposure in this and the expression of glee on her face.

I suppose it's possible you were after a high key photo here, and perhaps with a different crop, it could work well. But as it is, it appears to have been simply over exposed.

Voted earlier coming back to comment now. Some might see the the blown highlights in the top left corner as a flaw but I see it's use in a poetic light to capture mood and feel. What it effectively does is call the eye's attention the the child's face. More specifically it is the open smile the laughing mouth that is the real focus that captures the mood. The sound of a child's laughter tickles my ears; it is light and bright very much akin to the blown highlights. The laughter is also all sunshine and joy. I feel that just by looking at her happy face. Her stance is happy abandon taking joy in the taste of an apple and the fun that can be had from blowing on a dandelion. I do have a critique (sigh, now she gets picky right;-) ) and that is the dandelion's head is barely visible. The only suggestion I have to make it much more noticeable without disturbing the rest of the elements in the scene is to use the post processing tool of burn to see if you can get some details and contrast back. I also find it interesting in the choice of giving it a widescreen look - by doing so, you effectively invoke the idea that the viewer is watching a scene from a movie.
