Hi Everyone!

I took this photo (among others) of the daughter of some good friends of mine. I was hoping to do a portrait of her as a Christmas gift, and shot these photos without them knowing when they were in town last month (they live in Kansas). Unfortunately, she looks kind of vacant in all of the other photos I took and this is the only one that really shows off her personality. Unfortunately, I'm wondering if the pose is a problem. It's actually very true to her personality/gestures, but I'm hesitant about the position of her hands.

Do you think the pose looks weird? Does it make you wonder why her hands are like that or can it just be passed off as a kid being cute?

Since I can't take any more photos, or request any from her parents (it's a surprise) I'm trying to figure out if this is workable at all. Any opinions you guys have would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
