Well if its for C&C you will get more results if you put that into the title, and if its a random image well then there is a thread for that, its very good ppl can thank your photo if they think its good and there is a weekly winner.

TBH I dont like the image, it like a lot of you images looks a wee bit washed out and lacks vibrancy, I think bright solid colours work well in kids photography.

I dont really like the pose much either, is the child only three? looks like trouble brewing

It's one thing saying 'kids photography' and lumping it together with a complete style saying it has to be vibrant colours etc... the clue here is "tis the season" (halloween...) and it would look a bit silly to do a spooky picture with happy bright colours. Or, maybe that's too obvious.

If she has goth type inclinations, she'll love you for it in a couple years I'm sure she had fun posing - it's way better than the awful, awful pictures of me dressed up as a magician at 8 years old.

Here's the part where I have to disagree. I shoot tons of children. Coming home, cutting out the pouty faces, moving the saturation slider to the right and calling it a day is eroding. I deliberately go for 'washed out.' I record the manic laughter at the playground, the pouts and the frowns because it is my thing.

Plus, as she is my daughter, I get to show her future boyfriends photos like this in the hope of warning them off.

I like it fenster and agree with elvins c+c of it. Only thing I'd say is the White sky blows that part of the pic a bit too much.

My daughter and I had a discussion about saturated children's photos...

Where I agree with you about saturated images not being the only way to process an image of a child there are lots of ways of doing it without just sliding the saturation slider down the opposite direction.
I have to say I like the image. I like it because it's different to most images of children. Because it's your own child you will look at the image as not just a representation of your daughter but as a continuation of your journey into the art of processing images.
As family photographers with children we have the oportunity to take dozens of images of our own children looking sad, grumpy, pouting as well as apoplectic with laughter and giddiness but for clients I don't think this would be a seller and as the vast majority of parents want images of their child frozen in time looking happy, safe and loved. They also want the true personality of their child to shine through. For most people therefore the saturated images seem to work well and maybe this is the reason that people baulk at an image of a child looking genuinely scary and not just cute in a halloween outfit.
