OK, I took your advice, increased the blue a tad and lowered the yellow a tad, plus I worked on the background just a hair to hide the repeat pattern I saw in the treeOriginally Posted by Mad Aussie

Yes, I agree. Nice work.

It does look much better overall to my eye - especially the background.
I find the left side of the girl's face looks natural in this comtext. The right side looks oversaturated in the red/orange hues to my eye.
That said...very cute shot! The lip gesture is especially adorable.

Actually, she is very pale naturally, and her right side is more accurate to her complexsion. As you can see, I had to remove some blemishes and a rash on the right side of her face.
As for the lips, I couldn't get her to smile, no matter what I did. She moved 100 miles an hour, so this was the best shot I was able to grab.

Being a gramma of 3 under 8 months, not to mention an honorary gramma to many a young one - getting those little bodies to stay still long enough to capture an image that is clear what the subject is - well that is a feat on it's own. You did a lovely job here. My own taste in post processing is to tone down the yellows a bit. You did a nice job of removing the blemish!
