Oh, Allan, this turned out to be beautiful! The cool light and the blues and greens complement Camilla's fair complexion and hair. The casual pose and daylight show her in a down-to-earth, everyday way that is enchanting.
You handled the primary and secondary light sources with such subtlety. I really admire that. And I love the way you lost the detail near the bottom where the value of Camilla's jeans and the value of the background become similar and both take on warm tones. The pose is unusual and yet so simple. It looks like you caught her the way she would really sit, with her first two fingers together and her legs crossed. One more thing: I noticed her torso is slightly twisted with respect to her lower body. Many artists use this coyly, but you did not! Bravo! It looks entirely natural. Maybe that's because she's your daughter and not a model, but it is worth studying.
