Beautiful child, nice expression, good composition, excellent exposure... my only quibble is the eyes seem overdone.

Lovely picture but waaay too much work done on the eyes. Everything else is great it's just the overly white eyes really detract from the lovely soft shot.

outstanding lighting on her face - the composition with the slight tilt is great and the wisps of hair about her head is very attractive - but i am not a fan of the eyes at all - extremely overdone in my opinion

Very nice pop to the eyes. This always gets me when the eyes standout like this. 9.

She cast her gaze up pensively, a tug of a smile upon her lips. What was she thinking as you look down at her? Were her thoughts those of comfort and safety? Were they wondering if you would be happy or mad this time? Did she think about you at all, or were her thoughts still lost in the chaos that is her developing mind?

What was she thinking as you smile and tussle her hair and continue off to sit and finish your drink. Did she think about the yelling, or did she remember the hugs? Did she dwell on her troubles, or dream all her dreams?

As she watches you sit down, and returns to her play, you smile to yourself and wonder. So many moods, and so many faces. Which one will it be every day? She tells you so little, and you have so little time to inquire, but you suddenly realize that you have all the time in the world now.

What is she thinking as you get back up and sit down next to her. What is she thinking?

Just ask.

Absolutely beautiful. How do you get her eyes to be like that?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wonderful eyes. To me, I'd love to see it in BW, but that's just my taste. I like how her hair is blowing slightly in the wind. Did you over sharpen her eyes? 7

Lovely girl ... but the eye treatment goes too far IMO.
