This goes in order of what comes to mind first:
1) Cute, but...
2) I'd like to see more expression, I just know that a smile would look adorable on her face, but why isn't there one?
3) It's obviously posed and it even could be but make something be happening, give it some life, have her look at the camera and connect with the reader.
4) Great clarity and sofness/sharpness.
Score: 5
Fantastic expression on the girl's face! But she doesn't look very festive... this is a hard challenge to vote because of the impact of the headline/photo combo. But anyway, I think a more appropriate headline might be...oh, I dunno... "Daugher of Fallen Soldier something, something, something..."
