I think you have captured a great expression and pose! It speaks of trust and vulnerability and does evoke emotion. It makes me think of my own daughter who is now 12.

On the technical side the highlights seem blown-out but it could just be the post (JPEG) or scan.

Well done!

beautiful expression. I like the way light and shadow adding their own dimension on her. i think if you could add just a bit of contrast, it might look better, I have attached the picture here.
