Rachel,

I would have approached this a little differently colorwise. You went brighter in the blues. I would have kept them lower in intensity, allowing the face to exist without having to compete.

The viewer's right eye might be too close to the bridge of the nose, causing the nose to look too long. This is a very critical measurement in a child this age. The shadow there could cause you to be distracted from the positions. The slightest variance here can really create problems.

Perhaps your instincts are correct to leave this off. It is a worthy subject, however. If it were me, I would start over and go cooler temperatures, gleaning from my mistakes on the first worthy effort.
