Lovely girl and great capture. I wonder if catching her actually gathering the lovely flowers wouldn't add a bit of punch to this. This particular angle seems almost harsh on such a beautiful subject.

Very well done! There are just 2 things I would change: first, exposure-wise, it appears slightly underexposed, so a 1/3 stop brighter would have been nice from the get-go, but since it is already done, a levels adjustment to give it a true white point helps out. Second, it would been sooo nice if there were some nice and healthy, pretty flowers on the ground behind her head, rather than those sickly-looking bushy things. That would have really made this portrait stand out IMHO.

cute shot! I can't score it as high as some of the other ones but it makes a nice portrait.

Cute kid and nice composition, but what really hurts this image is the lighting, or lack there of, on the face. The picture falls flat with out some sort of light source, maybe point her near the sun or even the pop up flash could work if that is all you have...4

Without the title, this is a nice shot of a cute girl with flowers. A bit more of the "environment" (garden) would help communicate that she was responsible for the little plot of land. Maybe even some shears or a spade, something that would give you action.

The lighting is kind of flat on this, but I like the angle and she is adorable. For Envir. Portrait, it would be better to see her amongst the flowers and plants instead of just holding them.

Well done! Beautiful smile. This shot could have gone title-free, the environment tells it all.
