Love the light.
The only thing I can suggest if you can reduce the brightness on her forearms and dress a tad.

I agree that it’s perfect--wouldn’t change a thing!

Excellent! Not the usual kind of portrait one sees of a 4 year old.

epic wardrobe and hair styling... superb use of chiaroscuro... such breathtakingly beautiful facial features... agency material for sure... iconic near Rembrandt illumination and with such a poignant gaze...

and what RichardTaylor said... a viewer's eye is drawn first to brightness then to the area of highest acuity... those parameters have been cast in stone throughout antiquity... study the works of the masters and you will see this echoed in spades...

Thank you for sharing this enchanting rendering of such a gorgeous granddaughter Dave Chinn... it is so beautifully done...

The first thing I noticed was her beautiful face and hair. To get a more striking picture try cropping just above her thumb and to the 3rd bar from her hair, the nearest bar has hair covering it. I gave it a go and the result gives real impact to her.. I can post if you like..

How would you crop the Mona Lisa?

Thanks Richard, good idea. I never gave any thought to that, but there is some possibilities there.

Thanks Dennis !!! You are correct, it is unusual for a 4 year old. She is such a busy body, which I'm sure most at that age are. Once she paused is when I had the chance to capture this image. Altho, it did take patience to keep observing her for this unique opportunity.
