I took this photo for my cousin on his daughters day of baptism. any suggestions would be appreciated. They are thinking about getting a canvas print as well as 8x10's in color and b&w.

I have only one suggestion....get her out of the sun.
Harshm bright sun is seldom if ever complimentary.

The composition with that lovely dress is fine. If sunless area is not available, make shade with something.

The bright green of the grass could be toned down just a fraction, also that dress is a bit bright easily corrected in PP. Only other thing I can think of is to add a bit of lens blur to the grass in the back ground. A lovely little girl and a great model.

thanks for the suggestions. hminx, at what point would you suggest starting the blur?? I tried blurring all the grass, but that was too obvious, I am assuming that I could somehow fade the blur from front to back in Photoshop?? I may have to look into that.
