Greetings from the Critique Club

What a charming portrait of an adorable little girl. I'm delighted to see that you blurred out the background but still let us know it's an outdoor shot. Cropping is good.

It's a spontaneous image so the gaze directly at you (and the camera) works. The care with which it was taken eliminates it from the "snapshot" category.

I have only two suggestions. The first, to take care of hot areas is to bracket. The Canon will do it if programmed, I don't know about the Sony. But it must be easy to flip a lever or two to change the aperture, up and down, for one shot each. Of course you may catch a different expression each time; that could work to your benefit (or not).

The second suggestion would be to have an assistant or even the little girl (make a game of it) hold a piece of aluminum foil or a diffuser to her right to reflect more evenly the light on her face.

Whatever. You should be pleased with this image. It's a good one.

Very pretty girl. Looks like a bit much post-process on the face? can't tell. still a nice shot- well framed and nicely lit.

This photograph brought back a sudden tumble of memories of what it felt like to be a small again, playing out side in the autumn air as the sun is sinking low. Her expression tells it all like a story book come to life. Wonderful.

What a cuite! Her expression is classic. I think you captured her essence well, especially with the touseled hair and such. The colors seem just a tad washed out so maybe a little adjusting there. I like the use of natural light from the side, maybe a couple of blown out spots on the shirt but not that big of a deal. Cute portrait overall. :-)

I love the messy hair in her face and the little smile. Very nice soft light on the left side of her face and hair. It might be nice to see a little more of her background.

Really cute little girl. The lighting seems really effective and not too strong. Would like to see her set off center some or a different crop, but her expression is darling and the focus is good.
