oh, god! what a smile!!!
too bad you put her on a hardwood floow, which completely destroyed color harmony of the photo.

She has a beautiful smile. Not sure I like the floor/background, but the colour and clarity are very good.

It's hard to capture pure genuine laughter and even harder when it's a posed photo. I think you're not quite managing but I quite like her hair and the red in her top.

One of the best pleasures in the world... Good idea, nice light and sharpness. Having a solid white (or some light colour) as a background would make this a winner.
