Please critique my critique!!

This will be my last picture post for a little while, as I have posted frequently the last few days. Let me first say I really appreciate everyone's feedback. I wanted to post one that I feel is "almost right" based on my current knowledge, and then let people critique. In this shot, I feel the focus and composition are good. If this was someone else's post, I would say the color may be off and it may be a bit underexposed....so please critique my own judgement of this photo. Do you agree or disagree with me?? Also, feel free to post any corrections, but perhaps include steps on how you did what you did!!

I think that you critiqued your own picture very well! That can all be fixed in with PP though. The one thing that bothered me the most was the shadows on her face.

I agree, you critiqued your own photo very well. One other suggestion for the future, which can be a bit more difficult would be to try to get a little more light in her eyes (though you do have nice catchlights ).

She is absolutely adorable and the look is very natural. I find the color of her skin a bit off, tending to a gray undertone on my monitor. I'd love to see another version if you work on it further!
