Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
What a wonderful smile of the girl! Like her pose too, makes the image dynamic. Don't like the fishermen at the left and the large amount of space at the right though.
Content/Composition
Even without the title, this image speaks of happiness: your niece looks just great and one can hear her laugh and giggle. Really greatly captured.
What could be improved here is the focal point of the image: its just the girl and everything else is un-important. The fishermen disturb, because they don't add to "happiness" but the viewer see them and so he/she wants to know what they are doing, thus he/she is taken away from the girl.
The nice river also does not add much here, mainly because the girl is not looking at it, she is just looking straight to the camera. If she would look along the river, than showing the river would have been a wise choice.
So here I would recommend a very tight crop, so tight that the branches held by the fishermen look like they are from some trees. Of course, such strong cropping only works if the image resolution permits this.
Camera work -technically
The girl is a little overexposed, especially at the pink shirt and the face. Otherwise exposure looks fine. Focus is set well too, that the image is somewhat soft is more a software problem.
Digital Processing - Technical
Could need some more sharpening. The border is nothing special here: I almost didn't notice it, because it's so thin.
Fits the challenge
Yes, including the title it does fit very well and one of the best resolutions actually!
Good luck for your upcoming submissions

| What a cutie! The arms or something on the top left are a little distracting, but didn't look like they could be cropped out?! I still love this - Her smile is very sweet. |

| Very happy expression on the face of the subject. The two arms in the corner are very distracting. |

| She certainly does look happy - we could all resolve to be this happy at least some of the time this year. I think the light on the girl is too bright, with the hot spots on her sweater, especially in contrast to the lower key lighting on the water. |

| Beautiful portrait and lovely setting. Glad you didn't blurr the background...they compliment each other so well. |

| Great expression from the child. Nice colours and tone. Composition good, but wish the fisherman and branches in middle ground weren't there of course, and I might have cropped it so she were 1/3 from the left rather than 1/4. Illustrates the theme. |

| Cute little girl, nice focus DOF. The rocks look good too. The fishing pole arms are mildly distracting. |

| What a great picture of a cute little girl. I would LOVE to see this in Black and White. I bet it would be awesome. |

| I bet this would be spectacular in black and white! Try it and I bet you'll hang it on your wall. |

| Works well except for the arms in the upper left. I would have gone for a crop there. |

| cute picture. I think that the hands fishing in the background detract from the picture though. |
