I too like the way the kid is looking at the reflection; funny pose!

I like the composition and the reflection in the table. I wish the focus was a little sharper.

Smashing concept and composition giving us a deep portrait. Could do with being a little sharper and maybe getting some cathlights in the eyes.

Thanks for your comments so far guys!! I agree the shot is slightly off being sharp. I think it was a movement of the camera at the time the shutter was released. It was pretty hard to get a natural look on my little girls face, so I had to act quickly. Have a look at some of the other portrait shots I have taken and tell me what you think so far. I have only be doing photography for about three months now but GEEZ I LOVE IT!!!
