3 yr old Baptism formals

This young girl celebrated her 3rd birthday and baptism recently. There was quite the party to follow! This is natural light with on camera flash to boost the shadow contrast. I didnt get much response in the sharing area so Im turning to here. Please give me harsh but honest critique on both the photo and the processing. Thanks everyone!

It looks like you had some great light and a really cute model. While I don't care for the pose in #1 the next two are terrific. Smiles, big eyes, and tack sharp as far as I can see. While the blown out area on the sidewalk and her dress in #2 is an issue it doesn't detract that much from the photo IMO.

Nice job.

Very nice - well done.

I agree prety much with Titus213 and cant really provide any more feedback than he already has. except i would say try cropping #1 in from the left just to get rid of that ''half a pillar'' that may make it look a little more balanced...i could be wrong though.

Thank you guys. Im very inconfident in my processing. How do the white balance and colors look here? Thanks again!

Number two is very cute, good shot.

agreed, great shots and exposure...if anything maybe a little too much sharpening in the eyes (just to pick on something). Very good.

Thank you! Number one does have the eyes as the sharpest object. Thanks for the comment. (Im always so jealous of how some photogs eyes stand out in shots. Maybe I went a bit too far here.)
