Attempt at Portrait of my niece

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

the bottom third is actually an orange part of the equipment she was climbing on. She is peeking over it at me.

Second look you are quite correct. The skin tones are brilliant and exposure spot on. Apologies for the oversight

I'm sure there is an adorable cheeky smile behind that equipment.

Yes,

the cheeky smile is missing - unfortunately.
Show us another portrait if you can - with the smile - it would be priceless.

Exposure is spot on and the eyes are just lovely...

But, I am sorry, the orange does not work for me...

I like it - the orange goes well with her hair and the orange poles in the background. There is a feeling of tension and mystery as we think there is a smile but can't see it.
Perhaps I'm over reading this one... :D
