Hi Sid, I think this is a precious shot. Is she your daughter? I think the sepia is the correct choice for this subject. One observation is that maybe the lighter spots are a little over exposed as they steal my eyes away from the spout of the watering can to her hand- which I think is your main focal point in the composition. My eyes are initially drawn to the opening of the watering can, but it does lead me down the spout....so yeah, you could leave it that way. Anyways, it's a special moment. I love photos of children captured at play!

Thanks =) Shes not my daughter, shes my girlfriends 2nd cousin but yeah I can see what you mean about the overexposure, it was a really sunny day though. I do think that those highlights are what shows it

I love it - it's something I'd want on my wall. I agree about the overexposure in the water spout, but it's not too distracting to me.

Great shot - bet her mom just loves it. I wish my kids where young again - of coarse I wouldn't have any time for photography then... LOL!!
