A very nice capture here of a very beautiful looking young girl. Make sure you make an extra copy of this photo to give it to this sweet thing in about 10 years. Nice work!

This is a lovely portrait of a pretty girl. Fun to see her front teeth missing. It tells a bit about her age. It doesn't really seem like she has to much against having her photo taken either. She is probably just pretend to be a bit shy.

The portrait is nice and sharp and the use of light is very good. The tonal range of the skin hues are very good, and the set of clear blue eyes are just fantastic. With these blue eyes and her charming smile she easily enter your heart.

I also think the placement within the frame and the pose is adorable. I also think the tight cropping works well here. This is all together a well taken shot, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A very nice expression capture. Even informal shots need a little prep the hair across the face is a distraction and the crop is a bit tight. all in all you got your snap shot good work and thank you for sharing. with us,

Comment from Cephus
Nice display of exuberance an only a youngster can give.

Nice close composition, filling the frame. Excellent focus with good sharpness, the eyes are great with the eyelashes very sharp. The flash lighting is good although usage of a diffuser would soften it a bit and reduce the hard shadows.
