Thanks eveyone for all of the nice comments!! I'm so happy about finishing in the top 10.
I wondered about the border, but then went with it because I thought it really fit the picture.
Thanks again!!!

Great shot. I think this may be the one that teaches you DPC doesn't like big borders. (I learned that lesson a while back as well.) Could have been Top 5 othrwise.
I'm not sure about the borders, but the image itself is cute. There could be a little more contrast or shadows between the white door and the white dress. That would make the cherubic little girl pop out more. The peeling paint on the door is a nice touch. On the whole, this is a sweet capture and going to favs! Good job!
Very adorable image. The contrast of the sweet, well groomed innocence of the little girl with the cracked and peeling paint adds detail and interest. I'm not usually fond of large bold borders, but it works well for this image.
I really like the simplicity of this shot. I also like the black and white conversion. Great shot of a child. It's not one of those, "Look at my cute child," pictures. Nothing to improve. I hope it does well.
don't eat the paint chips ... sorry paranoid parent speaking. This is cute and revealing -- her bare feet make me nervous ... sorry paranoid parent speaking again. I kinda would like more picture, less border. 7
