Congratualtions Allan, you have a beautiful daughter with a fantastic smile. Your picture has captured the smile at the right moment. Looks like a natural pose too - she could be a star in the making. Rich colour red doesn't take away the overall balance of the shot. Exposure, contrast, framing all spot on. You've got a picture here that you can be proud of.
On a slightly negative side - you should try and clone out the metal pole on the right of your daughter.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
Dai

Hello Alan
You have quite a cutie, posing with shyness, or perhaps just trying to make it harder for her dad to take the shot.
Very good results, good coloring.
I agree with Daj,that you should get rid of the pole.

Very sweet little portrait of Kai Kai! Nice job to take her shot from a low POV instead of the overdone looking-down-at-the-child view. Her pose and smile are great!

Lighting was difficult here, it's quite strongly back-lit. You metered it well although if you had the chance to use a reflector - either a proper reflector or something as simple as a large white piece of cardboard - it would create a more pleasing light effect.
