Cute kid and cute pose, but I'd be worried about the light. You have that cool bluish window light from the right, and a good deal of uplight from the floor, I'd guess, that's a bit yellowish. Was she standing behind a patch of light on the floor falling from the window? Beige carpet?

If you look at the arm on our right, you have a cool outer plane, a warmer inner plane, and a column of warmish shadow between them. That's a lot going on, maybe unhelpfully complicated.

Then on her face, because of the uplight you have pronouced shadows under the eyes. In adults there's a creepy stage effect from this that can run from vaudeville to horror movie. In a child I think it's aging her, not really creepy but very unusual.

I like the pose, but I'd redo the shot with more controlled lighting. Sorry to be the dubious one!

Best
Lisa
