I think the focus in this shot is in the wrong spot: on the top of the hat instead of the girl's eyes. Otherwise really nice shot.

I have seen some of the best images of children here, so that pleases me, as this is so cute...

Very cute kid. This sort of shot is helped by having catchlights in the eyes. You can sometimes create them in photoshop if they are missing as in this example.

nice pix, great color, nice dof, good light, b&w good, a bit soft, nice comp, overall very pleasing to the eye

Very nice capture--gorgeous expression and great color. It's very natural and simple. I would like to see a bit more light in her eyes. Perhaps a reflector held near her face would have provided more of a catch light in her eyes? Or perhaps a diffused fill flash made by taping a bit of wax paper over the flash (I don't know how sophisticated your equipment is---this is the sort of thing I have to do).

I like the bright color hat, the vivid green grass. The skin tone looks a bit too red to me though

10 from me...good luck!

Some good use of backlighting, but the red in her skin tones could have been easily fixed in post, and leave her looking feverish. The focus seems just a little too forward of her face as well.

You caught a great moment here, really nice expression :)

She's a cutie. The DOF is nice but I feel like the lighting could be better. Her skin tones are awfully red - maybe do some work on desaturating it a bit. I'd like to see more of a glint in her eye too.

A fill in flash would have done nicely here to light up the face, specially her eyes..
