Greetings from the Critique Club.

What a beautifully poignant expression on her face.

Your focus and dof are excellent. Having seen the re-editing you did with this shot in SadEyesInFlowers I won't repeat the comments made. You did a great job with Sad Eyes and I think it would have scored a lot higher in the challenge.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Seems like a lovely personal family album snap but I dont think it would sell as a card in a shop, sorry.

would do better if it was larger (always submit photo that has at least one side at 640px)...

I think it fits the challenge and the title is appropriate. Sweet kid. The light above her head is a bit of a distraction and I would like to have seen this a bit bigger.
