OK, this is my 10-year-old daughter. I am practicing here, so bear with me.

I like this, but I'm wondering if the shadows on the face bother anyone? Do the 2 white swing set poles bother anyone, the way they divide the picture? I would take the green one out and crop out part of the bottom. I am thinking this could be a good painting, tell me what you think.

I need to plan better. I am bothered by the fact I didnt catch "the claw" on my pregnant woman. It's become a problem I havent been able to solve sufficiently yet.

The only problem I have personally is that she looks too old to me, too, something. That could be just the mom in me, I am not sure.

Digital manipulation is welcomed.
