It's not a bad shot, although her hair is a bit green. But when I see pictures of little girls in makeup and off the shoulder dresses in sultry poses, I start thinking of Jon Benet Ramsey and get kinda creeped out. I'm sure that's not what you intended, but that's my impression of the shot. Sorry.
umm.. shes wearing her tutu from dancing classes.
shes actually not wearing make up. its edited.
its not a sultry pose.. shes leaning farward with a flower.
i dont take that kind of pics of children, thank you very much.
Not real fond of the sunflare on the hair and her right eye, but the subject here is "lips" and they look pretty in pink, nice composition including the outstretched hands and flower. 7

The colors in this photo are soooo good. I just wish she didn't have that little bit of hair almost overing her right eye. If it's going to cover the eye... have it completely cover the eye?
That looks like some lens flare in her hair. Maybe you intended it to make something of an angelic halo, but I think it detracts a bit from the portrait. Perhaps a soft focus/diffused light shot would have accomplished it better?
