This picture was taken in studio using a friend/mentor's Nikon D300 with a 17-55mm lens. It was an absolute pleasure shooting Faith, she's extremely bubbly and a natural in front of the camera.

Thanks all for your comments. It was the first time I had ever photographed kids and they don't sit still for long. So I just clicked away as they fun playing on set, hence the strange composition and all other things that are wrong with the image (of which there are plenty). Through this challenge I have learnt that we can view the same picture but have it evoke completely contrasting emotions etc. When I look at her I see a beautiful little girl who has stunning personality. The tilted head is a pure "so what moment", something I have seen my nephews do over the years.
I chose this image more for the sentimental value than its photographic credentials.
sorry if this seems harsh but the pose doesn't convey fun or innocence and he composition is way off, her head is way to far to the left of the image, its about to get cut off.
A cute kid. The lighting is good and the shot is razor sharp. Her expression isn't the most endearing I've ever seen on a child, but not terrible either. I don't feel the composition works for a portrait like this, however. The kid is way off to the side, and part of her hair is cut off at frame edge. I'm not sure if that aspect of framing was intentional or not. I've done some out of balance entries myself, but for me it just doesn't seem to work for this one. Sorry.
