Cute expression and nice clothing color. Crop is good too.

I find the black border a bit distracting. Sometimes I find if you choose a color from the photo itself (such as her hair color or one from her fun shirt) it enhances the photo even more. Sweet expression.

Great expression and catchlights in the eyes. Pose is good but hand is distracting. I believe cropping is allowed in this challenge. It would have been better to crop some.

Seems a bit OOF or is it just me? I'd also try a tighter crop from the top.

You caught a really good expression here with her. Lighting is wonderful. What a cute kid.

I think the tank top is distracting but her face is just gorgeous! Love the eyes!
