Default 7 years old and loves Dad's Camera

This picture was part of the few I took at the weekend of my kids.



Exposure Program: Aperture-priority AE
Metering Mode: Center-weighted average
Focal Length : 40 mm
Exposure: +0.3EV
Aperture: F/5.3
Shutter Speed: 1/30 second

I would like to know if I should have gone for a lighter look. Or go for more natural with lower exposure and add some fill light?

Also

Is it Sharp enough?

All comments appreciated.

New still to PP and Photography.

What a cute girl!

The vignette is very heavy, to the point where it's distracting. Your white balance is off, but that may have been how you wanted it with your post processing. I like the natural light! It's lovely. It would have been nice if you had gotten her other eye. Portraits are all about the eyes, and you've missed one.

Lovely picture, though. Keep practicing!
