 My daughter Ellie, quickly becoming more and more comfortable in front of the camera as you can see.

I know I'm going to get nailed because the "frame" is not all around the edge and only on the bottom and left but some frames only have decoration on one or two sides as well. This is a wonderful shot and I love it, that's all that matters!

Cropped,
layer
soft light at 30% or so
burn around the edges
select eyes, adjust blue color in eyes
duplicate layer with gaussian blur
erased around the face and bit of the hair
There you have it

I would have gone with a slightly wider aperture so that more of her head would have been in focus. Also, color seems a bit off...
