This little girl kept following us down a trail leading to a salt marsh. She wouldn't come out into the open but she was very nosy so I snapped a few pictures. I know it's a bit busy and I cut off some of her "virtual" body but I love the way she was starring at me in this one. Thanks for looking.

I don't mind the cut "virtual body" in this case, and I would crop even further to eliminate the legs peeking through the foliage at bottom. I would also crop about half the OOF stuff at right (this would lessen its overwhelming presence in the frame), and then also crop a bit at to eliminate the dry twigs up there. I like the curious angled head :-)
I like the alert pose and details. The branch in the lower right is a bit distracting and I would increase contrast a few points and wish for a bit more eye contact.
A different but interesting COMP. You did a good job of choosing your perspective.
