Anything I should change regarding this portrait? I am thinking about removing the hair on her cheek and maybe cropping the left in just a tad, also thinking about doing a little more work under the eyes...or should I leave it as is? Thanks!

Post looks great.
Consider a tighter crop where you crop about halfway up their calves. Then it doesn't look like you cut off toes by mistake.

I find the background behind them a bit distracting. The eyes are often drawn toward the lighter parts of the picture. If you can darken the wood in the center to match the darker wood on the edges, there would be less competition for attention.

Thanks for sharing. Great shot.

Image editing OK, encouraged, and expected. Thank you for helping me learn!

Without any other changes, just a crop suggestion:

Crap, see you don't have image editing OK on, so pulled this :(

tmoore323 I went ahead and changed that option out of curiosity to see what you came up with :D...

Here is what I came up with...cropped and darkened the other part of the fence...

Like said, all I did was change the crop - your new one and mine are close, but yours is more centered still:

IceBlue & Tmoore.... I like the crops. Takes care of the feet perfectly. I slightly prefer tmoore's crop because it eliminated more of the negative space above their heads.

I like 1ceblu3 for keeping it centered and tmoore for taking the crop down. I feel like tmoore's crop makes the brother more dominant, making the sister less equal?
Hopefully I make some kind of sense. :)

too much contrast for me, sorta hard on the eyes. and skin looks a little too bright.. losing detail in the facial structure
