When we all used film, way back in the old days, different brands and makes of films where know for their color and contrast characteristics; Kodachrome was true color, Ektachrome was on the yellow side and Fuji had hot reds and greens.  Today with digital cameras we no longer have variations, right? Wrong.  I find that different camera sensors differ in the way they record the image just like film used to do.  The final image can be altered to your taste on the computer but remember that other monitors will have their own bias.

The eyes of this child is a good concept for a composition.  I like the thin strip of background seen on the right hand border this helps to keep the image from becoming to flat and two dimensional.  The freckles across the nose add a little human interest and tells us something about the subject.  The shallow depth of field only has the eyes in sharp focus.

I would like to make a couple recommendations to the photographer.  The viewer can see the photographer reflected in the pupils. This gives them a non symmetrical shape.  You may want to try standing against a black background that is big enough so that the reflection is larger than the pupil and thus making them round and at the same time hiding the photographer in the shadow.  And a little ketch light would help.

Another thing the photo-artist may want to consider is the color and saturation.  The image appears to be a little washed out and lacking in contrast.  This can be worked on using the layers pallet on the computer.
