Its funny, the first thing that popped into my head was religion based, christian in particular. She's standing on the 'cross' somewhat embracing it with joy by the way she's holding her hands... at any rate, I think the composition works well and the toning is well done. Good luck in the challenge...
wow - there are so many things I LOVE about this image.. the arms open to the universe, the cross feature of the sidewalk and the tones work well because she's a little girl. 9
Great colors! Beautifull hair! The road or whatever she's standing on creates a good rhytmical vibe to the photo, but the colors of the "road" and her dress are to similar. A darker dress or another location for the shoot could've improved it a little bit.
