perfomed to her (another one scheduled soon) and a lot of turmoil with the death of her grandfather, yet this young princess from my church always has a smile for anyone. I wanted to capture that today, at the church playground.

What do you think?

    Cute girl and nice pose. I think your photo is too oversaturated and causing her skin to look quite yellow (at least on my monitor). I would desaturate first and see where that takes you. :D

    Wow - very strong and lovely young lady.

    I have to agree with saurora about the PP. Here's an idea of what you might want to do with it.

    Processing:

    -10 on saturation (and it still might be a little over-saturated)
    +10, -10, +10 in the color balance dialog

    Wow, what a brave young lady. At least she takes it with a smile!!
    I agree, it looks little yellow on my screen as well.

    That's a good and necessary first step. The next step might be to read some of the tutorials on DGrin. Here's a good one on pleasing skin tones and how to get them (link). All I did when working on your first photo was to follow those guidelines. Your screen and eyes may lie to you, but the numbers - those can usually be trusted (but, not always!).
