This photo was taken during a wedding, I saw the little girl as a great photo opportunity and she turned out to be a great model. She is not my daughter, but I noticed that being a father represents a great success... and watching them grow is too.
Photographed in front of a yellow wall, minor editing steps.

First Impression - the most important one: Lovely picture ... she looks a little uncomfortable .. but I think it is the outfit.
Composition: This is good, the eyes are on the thirds line, the way that is is looking up captures the colours in her eyes, the shoulders look a little stiff and uncomfortable - perhaps an unnatural pose for this child.
Subject: This really does meet the challenge well ... so often we forget about children being our success (even if not our own).
Technical (Colour and light): There appears to be a little much red in the face, though this may be her. The focus is good and crisp so that we cn make out each freckle.
To grow its vote?: I think that the other crop you have in your portfolio may have done better ... it removes the suface fluffyness of the dress which the child looks slightly uncomfortable in. Although it doesn't seem quite as sharp and this may be why you choose not to enter than one.
Summary: This is a really good pic, I hope you offered her dad a print.

What a beautiful picture! Great background and lighting, the hat fits perfectly. And I'm sure she is this precious and perfect allllll the time (spoken by a father of two...) :-)
