 Taken at the local Pioneer Days festival in front of a hand-made covered wagon. I'm not fond of her gazing off to the left or that light blob by her head, but overall I like it.

Edit: The light blob is to the right of her head, not on her head. I still like the spokes but now the thought of the Statue of Liberty is stuck in my head!

I'm thinking a crop that includes a little less of the shoulder/torso?

I'd like to point you to your portrait "Those Eyes", to give you an idea of what can boost a portrait of this nature sometimes, and that's engagement with the photographer. Like Karmat says, she looks a little discontent here, or at the very least, distant. If you can find a way to engage your subject so that they can project at least a little personality, you are far better off. There are times when you certainly want that dreamy, far-off type look, but in this case it just looks like she's had enough and wants you to move on.

Nice eyes.

She looks a little discontent -- or like she is thinking, "Go ahead and take the stinking picture."

The spokes out of her head are a bit distracting. Almost a statue of liberty look.

I like the lighting though -- very even and not too bright. I don't see a "light blob" on her head.

This is adorable! She reminds me of a little pixy. Colors are great, eyes are great. My only nitpik might be all the spokes growing out of her, lol.
