I'm glad I got this picture, I gave it a relatively high score and was surprised it finished so low.
It's a wonderful portrait and captures great expessions. Black and white works very well here. Perhaps the voters were put off by a few technical failings... there is some kind of vase growing out of your niece's head and the photo needs straightening. You did well not to blow out too many highlights given the range of tones here. Another member of DPC mentioned in a forum post that when you take portraits of children, you should aim not to show the soles of the feet and perhaps you could have repositioned the feet. However, this is really nitpicking as I love the overall feel of the shot. Perhaps a little more sharpness would have been nice.
