This is the one I prefer even if I find it a little blurred. There is a portrait rule (maybe more a convention like the rule of thirds) that say you should have more space in front of the face than in the back of the head. This one might be improved by cropping in the back of her too. But her expression makes all the rules unimportant. Great capture of her personality.
The bottom picture is the keeper. And like Marcel said, crop a little more away from the back of the head. Then you could actually have this one printed and mounted. I wou;d hang this one on the wall, for sure. Children sticking their tongues out is not cute to me. It shows disrespect to the person taking the photo.
She is a very beautiful little thing! Talk about a smile that launched a million ships...
Stamatis that second picture is a very special very good B&W sir...crop it like they say and put it into the master portfolio...it is a very first rate snap...
Squint your eyes real tight and look at it for a while then you'll find out where to crop it at...
Today, I went to a mini photo excursion to a nearby town with some medieval castle ruins. The hill where the ruins are, is full of these small flowers. More photos to come later tonight.

Actually Wendy, there isn't a castle any more, just some ruins and parts of the outer wall. I think the ruins are even before the middle ages, during the byzantine empire. As long as my internet connection stabilises, I'll post some photos of the walls.
Finally I got rid of my laptop's problems, so I'm posting a few photos. Yesterday we went for a quick shopping trip in Edirne, Turkey (for who asks, for us it's a 20 min drive to Turkey). It is the Selimiye Mosque, by Sinan, a former Greek guy during the Ottoman Empire ruling.
Today, we went for the Easter feast to my grandparents' house. I got tha chance to go for a photoshoot walk around the village.
