Very cute picture. Although the light on her left cheek seems to be a bit blown out. But then I suppose if you tone it down, the right cheek would be too dark. But what do I know....
You can actually pull highlights down without affecting the shadows in post. In context, it does look a little blown out. The brightest spot is capped at 236 in all rgb values, though. I'll try toying with it.
Thanks for the feedback, folks. I think this is one of those images that strikes at home more with me than generically. This was captured while she was listening to Flim and the BB's for the first time. She was totally entranced.
I think its a great photo...but knowing the story helps. Otherwise you kind of think she may have been blinking. Love the tones and crop and the story behind it
