David, this is a wonderful portrait. Its 'speaking' so to say. I really like the composition, including the spoon in the hand and the printed t-shirt, as they tell me something about the subject. The crop is just right.
It appears to have been taken indoors (based on ISO/aperture), yet the lighting is nice and soft and works well here.
If you were looking for ways to add some extra punch, you might want to sharpen the eyes a bit more, and/or dodge them a bit to brighten up the catchlights.
Overall, I like this portrait a lot. As the last commenter pointed out, its hard not to smile with her when looking at this portrait.
I hope you found the critique helpful. Please feel free to PM me if you have questions.
This is the way a child should look! Bright natural smile and eyes...no plastic looking skin or makeup. Really hard to look at this shot and not smile with her :) I really like this shot.
Technically, I might also consider (as suggested in another comment) darkening the hand area to more or less black it out. Just a little distracting. You have a beautiful daughter.
Really nice! Lover her expression and the soft muted colors are very pleasing. But what I like most is the tilted composition, makes it stand out from the rest. Nice catchlights too.
Great catch of a very cute expression. I like the crop, just including the lettering on the shirt. Nice touch. The end of the object she is holding in her right hand is a little distracting, I think darkening it a little would be a good thing. Also, consider a tad more contrast (personal preference).
wow, I love the connection that I make as the viewer with this little girl. It may have something to do with her eyes or the pose. I think the message on her shirt put together with the crop on her shot is wonderful. great shot!
