OK I am going to be the heavy here ~ sorry
First off your daughter is simply stunning. Very photogenic and big beautiful blue eyes!
I think something is really missing in this shot. I am not sure if its in the post production or what ~ I can't lay my finger on it. Your daughter looks two seconds from a wonderful giggle and her eyes look flat. Little girls' eyes are SOOOOO full of glint and wonder and even easy to read a giggle on LOL
I am having the same issue with a photograph of my own daughter so I might be partial with that =/
By the time I like the entire composition from PP ~ I lose what I love about the photo ... the way her eyes really gleam and pop.
Also I *think* her eyes are reflecting some of the wall color as well. Nothing wrong with this but it does wash her eyes out a big. Blue eyes can reflect soooo many colors! All 3 of my kids have blue/green eyes so I deal with this a lot LOL
Maybe if using that kind of background, try putting something blue or green just off camera to try and get her eyes to reflect more deep blue? I love doing this with my oldest as his eyes change color TOTALLY with what he wears. People tease him all the time that he wears colored contacts LOL
As the focus is on the eyes and your daughter has such amazing eyes I think too much pp for this particular photo. The eyes are not popping as much as they could.
