Got some Jpeg artifacts around the corners of the mouth and the dark areas of the eyes, kind of over corrected lightness and shadows.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

One of my favorite lines from Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger, "Humanity has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."

While I do get and appreciate the out of the box thinking of laughter as a superpower the picture as it stands here does not fully meet the guidelines of the challenge 100%. An interesting take and it does make one think but the general audience is probably not as accepting and are looking for something that unequivocally demonstrates the challenge. In another challenge I feel that this would do better (maybe smiles or laughter challenge)...and it would look great in B&W with proper balance of shadows & highlights for then color would not be calling focus away from her wonderfully big smile.
