I agree with Deb, though I think painting with a lighter color might work too. The fuzzy hat is cute but I think you can keep attention on her face and deal with the blown highlights in the hat in one fell swoop by cropping the top off. If you crop it right, the remianing blown hat highlights get relegated to the background with the other blown areas and can be dealt with by painiting as described. Just another option.

I'll try to do a quick edit and post back...

ETA: As promised. Very quick and dirty, but it illustrates my proposed strategy.


Maybe the bokeh is still too distracting, but I think using too dark a color will make it look unnatural. I'm sure I can be proven wrong though...

The petals seem a bit overexposed. Great colors otherwise.
