John Boretos Your grand daughter has a devilish look in her eyes like she is about to say something worth hearing. The chalk effect produced a smooth peaches and cream complexion and the cheeks are full;  just as they should be.  I also like the fact that you caught her tongue about to carry out her plan.  Since this is a picture of a baby girl, tradition would suggest that the frame of the picture be pink instead of yellow.  I would also show her neck a little more so that the perspective gets away from that of a head floating in space without a body.

Anne Eigen Very nice image. I would rather see more of his neck.  I like the black background.  I like the idea of the frame in general, but the orange is rather overpowering for me.  Perhaps you could try selecting and darkening the orange to a more brown hue.
