I don't see how this meets the challenge at all, just kidding, after 20 detailed comments a little insanity has to be expected.

Good lighting and color, not completely sharp but it works because of all the smooth gradients in this shot, very simple but very effective at the same time. Nothing at all I can say against this shot. Good job!

I like the tones you chose for the edit. The teeth became a little bright for my taste, but it's a lovely portrait nonetheless :)

Very nice processing, and great pair of expressions to work with. I like the tones and the softness of the image, and the recolor of the blue shirt makes it blend in much better. The only thing I might suggest is trying to reduce the hot spots on the left face. Nicely done! :-)
