I like the changes. Her coloring is much nicer in this version. The greens are a little heavy, but overall I like your changes. :-)

So sweet! I love the little wind blown wisps and rosy cheeks. What a nice natural portrait. :-)

Hi Kat, first off this is an adorable look you captured and that's the most important part. :-) I would maybe think about boosting the contrasts and colors on this just a little bit and do a little bit of sharpening especially to the eyes. A layer of light dodging and burning might help with the contrast boost, nothing heavy just enough to show a little more dimension. The DOF is great, might try to brighten up the little girl and tone down the background just a bit so she's not competeing with it so much. Overall, this is really cute! :-)

Thanks you guys!! :-) Although it's pretty hard to mess up a photo when you have a camera pointed at something as cute at that. :-)

Yes it is. :-) I was lucky enough to tag along with Eden and her daughter when they were shooting it. She's such a great little model and spunky too.

Don't worry Ken, that ain't gonna happen. I was lucky enough to be there to witness this work of art in progress. Simple, elegant and organic. Eden is a Photoshop novice, lord help us when she learns all the fun stuff. :-)

Oh and you can kick me for introducing her to this place ... I know I am. **Mumble mumble...Blue ribbon on 3rd entry... mumble, must throw my camera away now.. mumble**

Congrats again Girl!! :-)
