a diffuser on your light would have helped with that distracting shadow. Also find the crop to be a bit tight. She looks like she's been jammed into a closet to play!
Yes, loud. Great expression, but I think a softer light (maybe diffuse with tissue paper or something similar) and crop it a bit closer on the right, or wider on the left.
10 for concept, 7 for execution: 8 overall. :-> A little less harshness in the contrast/lighting might well have pumped it a bit higher, but still, very good. I hear the photo (which is my major grading criteria for this contest), and it's an appealing image overall.
