I am still playing around with my new 50mm f1.8 lens and captured this one, my favorite with the lens so far
The image is nearly untouched, just a slight color adjustment and cloned a couple blimishes

Good effort ... and good sharpness on the eyes as well. Nice crop.
Does the program you use have a dodge tool as well? If so, I'd suggest to set it for around 5% or so and in 'midtones', carefully brush the eyes to bring out the colour a bit more.
A lovely portrait, indeed.
There is no crop what so ever here, all viewfinder (I actually thought it missed the shot at first). Gimp does have a dodge tool but I'm not too good at it.Quote:

Less than 1 minute with the dodge tool to bring out eye brightness and detail

Funny, we were doing the same thing at the same time. I added my attempt to the first post but did not get the nice changes you did.
Tiger --- in just a few days look how much you have learned! This is your best technical photo so far that I have seen of your daughter(s) .... MA showed you a neat trick to use. It pops the eyes like nobodies business and adds something special to the photo that when people see it - they notice the eyes but aren't sure why. Yup --- dodge tool is a good one as is the sharpen ... for teeth, you can give them a wee bit of a burn if they need it. (be careful tho - you don't want to make them too white.) :-) ---Beautiful little girl there!
