This is a portrait shot of my baby girl. I myself am very happy with it . Its one of my favorites, but i wanna know if there is anything i could have done to make it even better.
To be specific... what CAN i do to make her eyes pop? To me they look a little softened, but that might be because i caught a piece of the cloud over us. By the way, i am new to DPS and this is my very first post. I need all the criticism I can get if i wanna be better so lay it on me!

my camera is a Sony DSLR-A330
ISO-100
photo taken outside in natural light
(somebody please tell me what other information is useful to help others critique my shots)

what does this pic look like in colour ???? thats the first thing that comes to mind with me... also the very top of her dress looks over exsposed... was this pic shot in RAW?

Did you crop it yet? If not, I'd advise a different crop, perhaps moving her face more to the left. The photo could definitely stand to be sharpened. Her eyes should be the main focus. Also, this might look better in color. Overall, though, very cute shot!

thank you.other than making it B&W and cropping it, i hadnt done anything to it. Here is the original photo in color.

i think the cloured photo looks way better with a little cropping .
