I see this more as an environmental portrait than a straight candid.
Probably could have moved the box, but would have lost the picture.

Are you using the green-channel B&W technique? If not, this would be a great example. I think you'll get a better face.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Good composition; good exposure/bw conversion; good granddaughter; good cat - I just wish she wasn't looking at us, because it would work much better if she weren't. This way it's a portrait that's not enough about her, as opposed to being a more observational/environmental photo of a young girl in her own world.:D

Thanks for the comment, BD.
Hard to sneak up on that kid, especially when I am up close and kneeling down. One of these days she may start taking direction, but I'm not counting on it - ever.
The photograph works for me because she seems to be excluding me from her world - not including me. "This cat is mine, I am hers and you with your camera are on the outside."
