The smile.
There's always something about a smile that just light up a shot like this.
With some more post-processing to bring details out of the shadows, this would be awesome.
Let me know if you want me to help out on a slightly different edit.
Hi Rick,
As I mentioned during the challenge, (and nearly forgot),
I went ahead and did an edit of your daughter's pic:
From this --to this-->
Obviously having a full-sized original would be better, but for web viewing, this size is ok.
The garden location and the bright clear day must have been lovely - an inspiration. I think the model needs a little bit of help with a pose. Perhaps to look more in profile away from the camera.
Really need to play with the lighting and shadows to get something more interesting. Also, due to the models position, she is squinting (one eye more than the other) from the sun... try re-positioning the subject so as to avoid this.
