Eleanor at the pool, Cataract Gorge, Launceston

What I like about this image:  The closeup face, the expression and childhood eagerness for new experiences.  The limited depth of field with the background going soft.

What I would suggest might improve it: Crop out the adult out-of-focus arm to the left.  Use a fill flash to brighten the little girl's eyes.

Thanks Jerry,

Thanks for your comments.  I like this photo for its "summer travel brochure" look.  I think that the female arm on the left side, with its painted nails and sun glasses adds to that atmosphere. I agree that the fill in flash might have helped here although there is a risk that it would make the face look flat with all the lines ironed out
