17 and 18 definitely have to go....eight is by far the weakest of the
shots of your daughter. And I love the two dog shots, but don't think
they belong in the group.

Oh, and having said something perceived as mean spirited about a shot of
someone else's daughter, I'm a little nervous saying this, but there's
something a bit disturbing about 16 - there's a 40-year-old woman in
that photo, trying to pass as a four-year-old(?) little girl. Very
spooky. Particularly so if you just isolate the three phone shots...it
goes from totally goofy little girl, to little girl seriously listening,
to...adult....great shots...

Hi Eric,
Sorry mate she didn't qualify!  :-( Or you didn't qualify! As she's
looking 
at you and camera and not the tossed doll! I suppose she'll have to wait

until next year when the Games come around again for another qualifying 
round.! ;-)

Second shot isn't a winner either due to the bad light/shadow on the
boy's 
face! Pity! You can almost crop him out completely and have a sort of 
interesting shot with the little girl only due to her direct eye line to
her 
hand.

I'm surprised you didn't pick-up on the face shadow as it's so obvious
and 
hardly something one would miss.
