I think this is a really fantastic shot. The expression on her face is well captured, and the overall composition, while unusual, works well here. Your use of flash has really lit your subject well. I almost wish that the background/surroundings were just a little bit brighter, to give us a little more context.
Cute shot. I would suggest cropping the top to make her even more significant in the frame and put her head in the top 1/3.. Also, she's very nicely lit, but the surroundings could be a bit brighter.
Bad points: Dull image, nothing going on, noting to attract the viewer no point of interest and girl isn't looking at the camera.
Good points: color repro is quite accurate - flash?
Overall Score: 2
I've got a few explorers, too! Your use of fill-flash was a good choice here. I usuallydon't light flash for humans, but in this image, it doesn't seem to create harsh shadows and highlights like some flash photos do.
