Default Portrait of an angel

This is a shot of my little girl. It is so rare to catch her stationary and I liked how this turned out. Please let me know what you think and I gladly invite input to help me improve. I am new to this. I did PS the background, the eyes a bit and played with the tones.

Is the background distracting? Should I cropped different? Thanks in advance.

I'm pleased that you liked how this turned out, because I like it too.

Your PP has worked well, I like the tones and your little one's eyes are simply stunning.

Whilst your background is not ideal (you have to take what you can with candid shots of littlies), but it's certainly not distracting. Those gorgeous blue eyes are like magnets and keep capturing the viewers attention.

Thanks for sharing this shot with us.

Thanks so much for the comments. It is so hard to actually get a shot of her that is not blurry for one thing, cuz she is in constant motion. I am definitely learning much on this site and it is helping me improve. Thanks again.
