Straight portraits of kids don't normally turn my crank, but this is exceptional. The color consistency (shirt/door), composition, the slight vignette, the PERFECT contrast in the concrete: all conspire to raise this well above the usual.
Genuine joy! Beautiful candid capture! I love that the color of the door and her shirt work together so well.... the body language is priceless! You just have to smile when you look at this photo.... Excellent shot! Congrats :)
Excellent capture of personality. Good use of point of view in that you aren't looking down at the child from above. My one small nit is that because her shirt matches the doorway, she's getting lost in it and doesn't pop out of the frame as much as she would if she'd been wearing a different color top. Overall, this is a very good shot.
