Retrato de una niña

I would like comments on this portrait. Is it technically competent?

Can it be improved?

Lovely expression. Lighting suggest in-door local. Perhaps you can use a darker background to highlight the sitter for a start.

Very nice and very simple, I love her expression.

Nice image. Yes, it is technically competent. In terms of critique: I think her expression, nice as it is, looks a little forced and I'm not sure about her hand position - she looks like she is choking herself a little. Still a good photo. (If you find my comments useful, please rate and/or critique my photos.)
