Could be considered a shoehorn by some, but the title clearly explains your interpretation of this theme. I'm afraid don't care for this one however. The lighting seems harsh and the look on her face is not appealing. The hidden mouth dopes not help either. Sorry to be so hard on a shot that is probably of your kid.
Something about the lighting bothers me. Using a flash? maybe. It seems kinda flat. More directional lighting would help add some drama, and perhaps more interest to the shot.
Looked at this for a while, tried to take the title into context, and I'm still not coming up with an "old ways" theme. Very cute child, nice composition.
beautiful girl, specially her eyes... and we now have an Eyes challenge! Bad luck you take this shot a few days before its time, but well, we don't have a crystal ball, righ? Anyway i think it is a bit "off topic" so i'm voting 4... BTW: I think you have a typo in your title: guiltless?
