I really like the facial expression here and shadow detail and processing - very nice!
Sky is a distraction tho, and does not help the shot in any way imo. I'd crop it out if it were mine.

what a cutie! this is a great portrait- I agree with M. about the sky. :)

He/she obviously loves the camera :)

Nicely done Brendan, excellent tones and textures and your model seems most co-operative

Thanks everyone, I kind of thought the sky added a bit of balance and moved the shot from the gray scale, but I will take it onboard.

Poppy was in a playful mood and I was holding a stick just below my lens out of shot, hence the good focus. She assume that I will eventually throw the stick so I get a good 3 seconds before she runs off.

In a more relaxed mood.
