Greetings from the critique club
David, this is a wonderful portrait. Its 'speaking' so to say. I really like the composition, including the spoon in the hand and the printed t-shirt, as they tell me something about the subject. The crop is just right.
It appears to have been taken indoors (based on ISO/aperture), yet the lighting is nice and soft and works well here.
If you were looking for ways to add some extra punch, you might want to sharpen the eyes a bit more, and/or dodge them a bit to brighten up the catchlights.
Overall, I like this portrait a lot. As the last commenter pointed out, its hard not to smile with her when looking at this portrait.
I hope you found the critique helpful. Please feel free to PM me if you have questions. |

This is the way a child should look! Bright natural smile and eyes...no plastic looking skin or makeup. Really hard to look at this shot and not smile with her :) I really like this shot.
Technically, I might also consider (as suggested in another comment) darkening the hand area to more or less black it out. Just a little distracting. You have a beautiful daughter. |

| I like how natural this is. And the lighting is excellent on the little model's face. Very nice angle. It looks like a candid, but an excellent one. |

| Really nice! Lover her expression and the soft muted colors are very pleasing. But what I like most is the tilted composition, makes it stand out from the rest. Nice catchlights too. |

| Everything about her face is terrific, the hand is distracting and the so is the writing on the shirt. |

| Great catch of a very cute expression. I like the crop, just including the lettering on the shirt. Nice touch. The end of the object she is holding in her right hand is a little distracting, I think darkening it a little would be a good thing. Also, consider a tad more contrast (personal preference). |

| wow, I love the connection that I make as the viewer with this little girl. It may have something to do with her eyes or the pose. I think the message on her shirt put together with the crop on her shot is wonderful. great shot! |

| Very nice...you've captured a natural smile on this pretty girl...which isn't so easy to do with children. |

| What a Cutie! Great picture. I would have cropped most of her shirt since its a bit distracting but then you would loose her name. Good Job! |

| What a doll! I would have liked to see more of her face and head rather than the blurred out hand, but that is just me. She's a keeper! |

| Oh wow ! She is so cute ! Beautiful portrait. I would have cropped the bottom though ... There is no need to see the writing on her T-shirt. |
