a cute child... but please allow me to critique this as if it were my own photograph. I work in a portrait studio and take mostly photos of small children, and I am very hard on myself:
The first thing I notice is the bottom of her shoes. It is always best to avoid this. Turning the child to one side, and hiding the bottom of one foot (the leg furthest from the camera) by tucking it against the inner side of the leg closest to the camera usually does this. I really like how she is holding her feet, so that is a plus.
The second biggest thing I notice is the moisture on her chin. A shiny area due to drool is the biggest problem to avoid at this age, yet is one of the most important things to avoid. The lighting is done beautifully. And you caught the reflection in her eyes wonderfully. Also, her head is turned at a nice angle..to be almost a profile, yet her head is thrown too far back. I also don't like the tongue out with this expression on her face.
The seamless background was done very well, but the top right corner could have been edited further to make that smooth as well.
Overall, I would probably rate this between a 6 - 8.
I think you have a good thing going here. With these suggestions in mind, you have the makings of perfection in future.
