I think it's a lovely portrait and you should be very proud of your beautiful granddaughter, but I'm going to dissent and say that I actually like the color version, even though I'm usually a BW person, because I love how the color in her cheeks and lips is set off by the color of her shirt, and contrasts with her light hair.  Plus that lovely natural pink cheek color is something that only the little ladies get, us old ladies have to paint it on,  and I feel like it's a shame that it's gone in the BW.   But in any case your crop is fantastic, and as others have said it's a great shot because of her expression. Great job!

Another from my first session with my new Alien Bee light. Please

share your thoughts. Thanks!

An unusual image for me, but I just got an Alien Bee B800 light, so

I'm playing around today. Please share your thoughts!

I love the colors, and I love the fact that the benches are empty, but there's one person at the end of the lane. Great shot!
