I think its a lovely portrait, all I did was, I changed the skin tone a lil bit and added a warmer color tone pver the image as it seemed to cold for me, plus I wanted it to look as if the sun was beaming in the room. Hope you like.

sweet.........thanks

I think you caught some mischief with the innocence. Nice work.

What a cutie! I evened out skin tones, tried adding a touch of light in the eyes (I suspect that they are very dark, nearly black!), took out
the hot spot below her cheek, and added a little vignette.

I went to your site and there are some amazing work, I wish I was so good with photoshop. Fair play to you. I like your edit a lot too.

The light is quite nice and soft which is great for this sort of thing but it does have a little bit of a snap shot feeling. I would suggest adding catch lights at the capture stage but that's just how I like to do it, I think you made the right decision by adding them -expecially because they are dark eye- but I think you could move them off center more and make them larger because of the soft light.

The thing on the bottom right is a bit distracting, you could clone it out if you wanted but again its probably easier to just remember for next time and fix when you shoot it.

The colour was a bit off -or maybe my monitor is- so I changed that, I'd go back to camera raw and re-do the WB so you can do a better job than I have. I really didnt like the greens so I've tried to change that a bit, desaturated/colour shift the background and hair/face highlight. I did each separately though.

Also done a levels thing, clipped the shadows and highlights a little -maybe not the best idea- but more importantly I brightened the image as a whole.

Finally I dodge and burned it, brightened up the left side of the background to create more separation, darken the right side. Add a really mild vignette.

But in summary, I would pick a different background and probably a different spot to take the photo because of the mixed colours of light coming in to save processing time. Lovely big eyes but those dark ones look way better with catch lights most of the time so good choice as far as that goes. Pretty nice light too.

OMG,,,,,,,,wow, firstly thank you so much to all for taking the time and editing her photo, you have actually made her look even cuter!! Applause to all,

Peano, special mention i really liked your work. Thank you so much. Exactly what Albertonmen said i wish my PS was as good... thank you

Calumphoto thanks for the work and input it was that spur of the moment thing when she was in that mood i had very little time so didnt get to choose where what why, but just got waht i could. in simpler words it was unplanned spon taneous shot and i had just bought the 50mm 1.8 which was on my 7d........no speedlite only oncam flash, the org. catch light was small and uneven therefore edited the same spot made it equal, nice work on ur catch light position, for me it was uneven in both eyes probably due to bokeh.
