Waiting for Santa

A friend let me take a few shots of her daughter.
I would have liked to got all of her second shoe in the shot, but I didn't.
This is the full frame.

Looking for CC.

Regular PP with some pixel bender applied at the end.

This is a great image. Just two things that stand out to me. The pixel bender effect on the eyelids and the halo effect coming of the little boots.

Davev, I really like the bender effct on this image. The amount you used is perfect. There's still some great detail in the hat and teddy bear yet enough processing to give it that special feel. Nicely done.

Very nicely done, I'm not bothered by the effect as it does not take away from the image.
Bravo!

Thanks guys.
The eyelids are pretty much like they are in the original (wrinkled) so I didn't do anything with them.
I was going to try to get rid of the halo, but then I thought that the effect separated the shoes for the background, so I left it.
I may try to knock the halo down some later on.

Thanks.
Lighting was nothing special, soft box to the left, shoot through umbrella to the right.
