First thing I see when I looked at this is the bright pink background. Too bright. Too pink. Doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the photo. Definately doesn't compliment the girl very well either. Seems to just really clash with everything.
I see that you have listed this in the action category, which would explain why she is such soft focus. cause she's moving. I still think I would prefer to see this shot in sharper focus.
Lighting overall is ok except for the background. I wonder if a little fill flash would helped to bring out some detail in the tree a bit, but really not manditory I don't think.
I like how the tree is off to the left and the branch goes across the top of the photo, kind of frames the girl nicely.
Overall a fun image, but hurt by the background and soft focus, in my opinion.

Good idea I like this. Maybe cropped to focus on the connection between the girl and branch, and lose some of the background details.

That girl looks like she's five. Haha....I would have liked it better if the image was sharper and less fuzzy.

shorter depth of field to make fence in bacground more out of focus and so less distractign would have helped this shot, IMHO

Compostion is pretty good but the background was too bright (full sunlight?) resulting in a near burned out pink background and an under exposed subject. A little fill flash could have worked wonders (assuming you didn't use any)

out of focus, too much glare behind model

Like the subject and composition, would have been better if the background had not been blown out.
