Subject: Sequel to Firestarter. It seems that Drew Barrymore has a much younger cousin who, also, can become quite volitile when not completely satisfied with Life's circumstances. Firestarter 2006: Meltdown at McDonald's!

First off, I like her placement in the image and of course the title is great. Her expression is priceless and you captured it nicely.
As far as technicals go, the color seems a bit too saturated. Also, you might have had to expose the way you did to bring her out but it has blown the background, her right arm and leg out in the process. You'll also need to take advantage of the 640 pixels. When you use anything much smaller you already start out at a disadvatnge with the voters.
Overall a good capture of the expression.
Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image Stan.
I think this is a great 'poster' photo.. Kids around her age would want to see the movie if they saw this shot.. Really good job of catching her with that expression... I like the motion blur in her hands.. one suggestion I would make, and it's not major, is her dress on the left looks a little blown which causes it to merge into the bg... but the overall feeling of this photo makes that unimportant.
A great image. The title isn't great. After all, the image conveys all that and more, but it's not terrible either. It would be nice if the title suggested a story rather than just the character, but at least it doesn't detract. This is probably an interesting indie movie about a demon child (not literally).
Really too small a picture ... you should really try to get it 640 on the long side to create a bigger impact. In addition this is a four word title ..
exposure is poor, the white behind the subject is far too washed out. Also focus appears to be too soft (maybe needs a little more USM) and there is a lot of noise in the blue mat. I give it a 3
