It's a beautiful candid. You should be very pleased with it.
I wonder if a square crop would suit this picture well... cropping out some of the hair from the right.
Nice job! |

Nice shot. I think it may look better if you soften up the image a bit.

| Her face seems a little stressed to me. See if you can get her to relax her face a bit more the next time. |

Very nice shot. I agree with trying different crops, but think the stressed face is cute. Like she's concentrating on getting the perfect bubble.

I think the problem is over-compression for dpc. I doubt it goes through to the original.
Beautiful shot. The expression suits the action.

Nice action capture and the expression is good. Profile works well even with the eyes closed.
There are some technical aspects to consider. The girls' face should have some front or side lighting from a refector or filler flash to make it brighter. As it is it is in shade and dark with respect to the brighter background. That will make her stand out more in the composition.
The image is low contrast and needs to have a proper black point set. You can tell because if you apply a simple autolevels adjustment the image will change a lot. There are many ways contrast improvement can be achieved. Most are better than just using autolevels.
The soft focused background appears grainy. That can be smoothed considerably with noise reduction and/or gaussian blur applied just to the selected background.
You might consider a standard 8 X 10 aspect but much closer cropped than it is right now. That will draw the attention to the blowing of the bubble which is the main theme of this image. The outer detail as it is does not add that much to the composition. In the new crop you would keep the girl on the right side of the frame. Then it appears she is blowing the bubble into the image and not out of the frame.
As is the focus is a little on the soft side. You can chose either a sharper focus or a more artistic softer focus. Either would work well with this image.
