I've never participated in this area of the forum. I usually stick to sports. I wandered over here yesterday and thought of my daughters soccer game today. I thought I might find a little blue in her and her team mates uniforms.

I have no idea if this is how I officially enter, but here's my shot.

    Nice portrait in the light. Though the burnt highlights in her left hair add to the picture, I'm a little more bothered by the ones on her head. They catch the attention as well as here eyes.

    Welcome to the challenges!

    I agree... the hair highlights work for me, the highlights in the eyes and face are a little too intense and distracting from the overall feel of the image. If you could tone those down a bit, I think you'd have a really nice shot.

    So I removed the adjustments to her eyes which tones them down a bit, but I'm a little confused on the other comments. I don't see any highlights on her face.

    Eyes were fine. I'd put them back. They are talking about the blown out (white) area on top of her head. If this is a raw image, you can probably bring that area back. If it's only JPG, you might have a bit more of a challenge.

    Eyes are back and hot spot on head reduced as far as possible.
