Ada, is a close friends' daughter. I shot this one back in last May when she was like 2.5 or so. It looks like she posed easily however as i remember she just hated me and it was extremely difficult to make her stop for a second and look into the camera :) Thanks for viewing.

Yes, the frame is a bit too wide. This picture is good enough even without it. There is little else that you can improve, maybe just a slight desaturation of the background.

Everything about the girl is perfect. Exposure, posing and composition is wonderful.

The pink bike (since it is out of focus) is also ok, but having the person behind her in not good at all.

The color choice on your frame is complimentary, but it is much too large. Having that much color around the frame alters the eye's rendition of the images whites and skin tones, making them appear to be a different (and not very pleasing) color.

I also like the reflections in her eyes. Nice photo!

Lane thank you very much for your critic. I have to agree about the frame. Actually the idea was to make the thumbnail maximum size by chosing a square format so that it draws more attention... But yes along with the first critic you're right and i have to do something about it the next time. Thanks for your time.

Good color and use of available light. The expression is perfect. Would be very good if you had a cleaner background.

Cute girl, but the lady in the background ruins this. I also do not like the frame. The centered photo just looks out of place and proportion. Try cutting the top of the frame so that it is sized the same as the framing on the sides of the photo. The photo will then be in a "gallery" position and look much better. I do really like the coloring on this. It almost looks like a faint watercolor effect... could be because it is a film scan... still I like it.
