this little girl was sitting on her dad's shoulders and i took a quick picture. i like it a lot. let me know what you think.

f/5.6, 1/60, iso 400, @100mm

i made some curve adjustments in Lab Color, used unsharp mask, and clone stamped the background windows out.

The edit looks much better, good job!

[kylejackson]

thank you. i think her coat may be a little too saturated.

the first person to view it on flickr also added it to their favorites, ha!

Kyle I agree on the coat...Try the blend if slider's.

Right click on the steppened curves icon and that will reveal blend if dialogue.

Cute little girl-love the curls. Anyway, the coat saturation in the first image is a little too much and distracts from the subject. I also like how the background is blended in the edited version. The background is blended so much in the first shot that it lacks indentification and interest. Good job with the edit.

It looks oof or camera shake to me. The edit does look much better than the original.

Could someone PM or post here with some information on how this image might have been clone stamped to take out the window without effecting the kids hair?
