This image is nice - perfectly sharp, decent lighting, good composition. But (don't you hate that?) for me, the Point of View is awkward. I am looking down on the child (which lengthens her nose) and I feel I am too close, which leaves me uncomfortable. An eye level view would be much more flattering to the model and allow me not to feel so, well overbearing as a viewer (that works for some images but I feel it doesn't work here). Also, blurring the grass (shorter Depth of Field) would remove some of its texture. Currently, the texture is distracting as it is not too appealing (brown spots detract). I can see you have learned to use your camera well. Now a new learning phase starts in seeing the whole picture before you snap, being able to judge what other will people see. I am currently in that phase too. :) Good luck! From what I see in your portfolio, you are moving along quite well.

Lovely portrait. The lighting for the most part is wonderful (there's that hotspot on the left shoulder that draws my eye) and the focus is good too. Nice color pop with the dandilion. The one thing I don't like about this is the background. The grass and green/browns just isn't doing it for me. I think its because the earthy tones are making her brown hair blend too much into the background. Still a nice portrait overall. 5
