Very nice capture of a seemingly candid moment. She's got mischief in her eyes and smile. Good job catching that.

her arm positioning seems a bit weird, since we done really see all of it. excellent capture of her face though. the energy in her eyes is contageous

Nice closeup.

Very appealing portrait. Two observations: One the arm needs to be included in the image at least up to the elbow. The left needs burning in. There is no doubt that her smile is captivating. Did you try a tight crop of just her face? BOL

Cute! The black and white was a good choice here

Good B&W shot but the eyes are too flat & expressionless. Nice crop!
