I shot this of my friend's daughter. The photo was shot in RAW format. I messed with exposure, shadows, brightness, contrast, and saturation in Photoshop CS2's RAW editor to get this result.

Beautiful and I like how the blue eyes match his outfit. Would have preferred a bit of more visible outline leading from his right shoulder to his arm. As it is, he looks like he's without arms even if the main focus is not that.
I like how the blue stands out on the overalls. This child has such a cute face, the photo seems a bit too high key to really show the details of her features. It seems like it is the style anymore to cut off the tops of a person's head in a portrait - to me it just makes it seem like something is lacking.
I like the way the eyes and clothes stand out from the translucent skin and background. A shade darker shirt might have been helpful, so the shoulder did not disappear into the background.
I like the alabaster sense to the skin tones. She fades right into the background. My only complaint is the buttons. I think they are so vivid in comparison to her facial features (although the eyes are beautiful) that your eye is drawn down to them instead of up to her. You could almost crop them out and still have that hint of the denim of the overalls and it wouild help compliment her eye color. Overall - well done though.
