The focus seems to have been missed just a bit, it looks like the sharpest focus is on the sleeve and not her eyes. In general you always want to try and focus on the eyes, in this case they are the most important part and the photo suffers because they are not in focus.
I think this is also a case where children we know seem much more interesting to us then to others.
