My daughter Kristi with one of her first Christmas presents - an ornament. She loved it, and I think this really is my best shot of 2005.

Gosh, she's gorgeous. Looks just like her mama (who will decline to vote on this one because she can't give an objective opinion, but thinks this picture rocks and deserves a 10).
This is a very nice family album shot. It is well composed but it verges on snapshot for me. I think the big problem is you didn't capture a catch light in her eyes.
The action and the pose of the little girl are delightful and very nicely captured. I think that this photo could have been even better if there were catchlights in the eyes.
