Composition: Her positioning in the frame is lovely.
Lighting/Exposure: I love the warm light on her that feels like a sunset. I am not sure why you chose f1.8? Unless it's a really close up photo, it causes too much to be out of focus for a portrait.
Pose: I really like the way you have her posed here. However, she looks a little stiff holding it :)
Suggestions for Improvements: Higher f-stop. Even at 3.5 you are still going to get that beautiful bokeh in the bg. When posing a child, explain to them what you want them to do, then let them rest for a moment (break down the pose) and have them go back into it naturally. With a kid this age, she will remember what position you had her in :)
That little girl is just adorable. Her smile is so winning :) |
