What a cute little girl very charming photo. Definately fits the challenges. Makes you wonder what she is looking at.
There are two things that could be done to improve it. First left side of her face appears to get soft. The other thing is the throw in the background it appears to be a wolf face, is very distracting and takes away from her.
Again it is very nice work just has those two minor flaws to it.
the colors,textures and lighting are great, the wolf backdrop is a little too distracting...i understand the tie in of the "wolf" but i think your photo would be enhanced by a black backdrop
