from one newbie to another this is what i think. good job getting the eyes sharp, but i think the rest of it is too overexposed.

super cute but a tad hot (overexposed) dial it down a pinch in post and you're golden.

Great shot, great composition.

If you shot in RAW overexposure is relatively easy to fix.

Did you internal flash fire? It looks to me like that might be what caused the overexposure. Try turning the power of the flash down by using flash compensation in one of the P, S (Tv), A (Av), or M modes.

It's a very good pic. It is a little over exposed, but you can fix that!

Other than the exposure issues the only thing that I would mention is moving the subject out of dead center of the picture.
