One of my first attempts with my new studio light and reflector. Editing included levels adj, slight shadow/highlights adj, resized, sharpened, noise ninja to smooth it out a bit.

Very cute and good lighting. I do need to put on the uniform of the JPEG police for a moment... (Ahem, don't look while I change.)
There is some compression artifacting visible, mostly around the glasses, but a touch around the lips and teeth as well. There is also a bright spot on her upper right cheek, just under the corner of the glasses. I'm not sure if that is JPEG artifacts or from light refraction through the glasses. Looking at your file size, you only used about half the file size that was available to you. You can use less compression and eliminate a lot of those artifacts. Alway use the lowest compression ration that will get your shot in under the filesize limit for a challenge.
