Just general critique, mostly curious on how I did with WB and contrast.
Thanks!

It's a good photo, but the jacket is just a tad textureless, so it looks blown out. I tweaked it a bit with the exposure brush. - Ilya

But agreed she's adorable... Man with a Camera and Lens

Looks like she is wearing lipstick, and while the eyes are brighter they are getting close to that unnatural look that so many folks seem to refer to as "pop". To each his own on PP, but that is not for me.
