Definately a cutie! I'm not sure I care for the overall brightness - in this case I don't think it really 'fits' with the subject being all 'dressed up'. I think this treament would work better with her dressed up as, say, an angel, or perhaps a flower girl or something. Here it just washes out the 'painting' she's been doing.
I think with a less harsh light source this would be more effective for me and I would have scored it higher. I like he big, bright eyes - and the beaded necklace. :)
Too vivid and blown out...the effect just doesn't work with this image. The eyes are very soft, and not a real "meaningful" expression on the child's face...it looks like she just stopped interacting in her "world" long enough to look up at someone behind the camera. I have a feeling a lot of voters are looking for your stereotypical "model", so that may hurt you. Kudos for going a different route. This also could have been cuter if it were a full body with lots of makeup bottles/brushes/etc. scattered about, or if she was peaking through "mother's" jewelry box, etc. That way the viewer can know a little more about what's really going on since the model's face isn't necessarily telling a story. The shadows on the left and bottom right are distracting as well. I'd love to see the unedited version!
