Beautiful child.. beautiful photo. I like the "far-away" look on her face, almost as though she is indeed contemplating the future. I would have cropped a little more off the top so the black line wasn't there.
I like the idea in this photo. I think it would have helped if the photo was better focused and also the expression on her face was more reflective of hope.
Of all the "children" entries into this challenge, this is my favorite by far. The crop and composition are very well done. You've caught a moment here, for sure.
