She has gorgeous eyes! I just wish she had of looked up at you to make a bit more contact! Can't control that though The shot seems a tiny bit soft to me. Also seems you could bump up the colors a wee bit more to make the most of that fun lolipop and her purple wings! I'm not a pro so take my comment with a grain of salt (or sugar!). FUN shot !

Cute kid! Colour looks a bit flat, but using Darren Rowse's step by step tutorial ( here ), after less than 5 mins I came up with this: ( uncropped, scaled down a teeny bit, and compressed to keep it below the max size allowed for this type of file…)

I'm going to dissent (a little). Kid is definately cute, but I think the skin tones are too saturated/reddish here. The brick/grass pop is nice, but I'd back off a bit on the jeans/T-shirt. She started off a tad cool; the treatment definately enhanced the blue of her eyes very nicely.

Wil, I know you weren't intending on this as a final product on your edit.

Followed your technique advice on another photo of mine.. What do you think?? Is it to much color?

You're absolutely right, Andrew. That was done at around three this morning after returning from a long gig on Sunday night. After I posted it, I thought the reds to be a bit heavy, but the intention was to provide the OP with a means of of improving her pix. I was amazed by just how easy Darren's method is, and am grateful to whoever posted it here (can't remember original thread), but your point is well taken.

goldilocks - just seen your latest, and as Andrew points out, gotta be careful of those reds!

PS: Watch the yellows also…
