Outdoor portraits of my daughter

I tried a little different sharpening method, and wonder if its any better than the first one I posted.

Are you kidding kathi?? I've seen your work on flickr, and you are awesome! Anyway, thanks for the nice comments!

thanks. And you're welcome.

I do like this second edit but I was wondering... Am I crazy or are her lips darker now? Maybe I'm . I forgot to say how much I love the color of her shirt with her hair and the grass. They all compliment eachother quite nicely I think.

I may have inadvertently increased the contrast a bit more, but it wasnt on purpose. Just wanted to see if I could get it to look a little sharper without making it look fake. Thanks for your comment!

I agree with cindy that her lips might be a tad bit too dark.

It's a nice shot of a very pretty girl. Had you been able to fill the shows around the left eye and left cheek area this would have been a great shot.

With all of that there's still something about her expression that makes it a very nice, soft innocent portrait of a lovely young girl.
