Nice work on this. Not only a good capture of some bright contrast on the child's face, but also the child's personality. The DOF is also really good to keep all attention on the girl. Excellent photo.
Really nice image.
From a personal point of view, I would love to have seen this in vivid colour with background blurred by shallow DOF I bet it would have been a winner in the upcoming "Colour portrait" challenge..however, this treatment serves the purpose of this challenge so much better.
Good luck.
