This was taken @ my daughter\'s school for a fundraiser I did for the school. This little girl was so sweet and was alot of fun to work with. She was so shy and innocent, but did everything I told her to do.

Abosolute cutie pie of a child. This capture makes you want to squeeze her to death and pinch her cheeks in the process :). Exposure looks to be good and you handled the lighting well. This is a shot that any parent would be proud to hang on their wall.
Even though 6.0211 isn't a bad score at all, why didn't it receive a better one? My opinion would be the vignetting you added. While I certainly like it in this case, it may not appeal to the masses. It's definitely a hit or miss step for DPC. You felt it worked, I feel it worked, but some probably didn't think so. I'd also clone out the little blemish on her arm.
Overall a great shot indeed!
Thank you for the opportunity to critique this image Lorrie.
Normally, I do not like vingetting, but it really works in the capture. This is a great expression that you have caught, and the crop works very well. I'd like to see her catch lights a bit stronger, but nice photo over all.
I like the portrait part of this image, her face is appropriately lit and she's giving you a great smile but I feel that the top is a little tightly cropped and the flowers are a bit blown out. Keep up the good work, hopefully she's got a lot more smiles for the camera.
