A portrait for C&C please

So I finally took a picture of some real people instead of inanimate objects or ducks, and did some pp on what I thought was a pretty good shot to begin with. Mostly levels and healing here and their.

Cute shot.....is it me or is it slightly tilted...

looks a bit tilted to the right, and the white balance seems to be a bit off, other than that it is nice image, good job

White balance, and it might a little too red.

All good points,

I did another edit as I also wanted to change the crop to get a perfect 6:4 ratio for printing.

Here it is (i'll also edit it into original post so you can see side by side)

I find the cupboards in the background way to distracting. I either would have used a really shallow DOF to blur them out or would blur them out in pp.

Also on my monitor the color balance looks a bit off too. Otherwise it's a nice pose(s) and good lighting and such, but still needs some pp.

Peace,
Jim
