I think this should have scored a bit higher as well. There's a lot to like: the background works perfectly with her outfit, love the pastels, skin tones are good, pose and eye contact good as well. My only suggestions for slight improvement would be a teeny more saturation & sharpness, and maybe a tighter crop to get that angelic little face closer to the viewer. Good luck with your future entries!

Thanks for the comments! I thought it would have scored higher in the 5s, but of course I'm biased :) I hope people don't still vote down baby pictures, I plan on flooding this place with cute baby pictures!! Muahahah!

I agree that this should have scored better as well. I do think a touch more contrast would help though. I really like the pastel colors!

Great commercial image. If you can do this over and over, you'll make a pile of money.

They thought it was so funny. Oh, so funny. They pointed, and laughed, and said how cute it was. How adorable. How PRECIOUS.

To Peter, however, there was but one thought.

Revenge.

I think that there needs to be more use of shallow dof in this, I find the background - especially the shadowy bits on the left - quite distracting.
