This could be a big cheezy mistake but ........

Moocher,
I'm not much for experimentation, although a lot of people are, so my comment may require a pinch of salt.
It's such a fantastic shot of a very cute and expressive little girl that I wonder why you included the red. To me, it's a distraction to that delightful (and slightly mischievious) smile.
Just one person's opinion.
Charlie

Beautiful portrait those eyes are just gorgeous and you captured them so beautifully, but I have to agree with Charlie my eyes are really distracted by the selective coloring here. I would want to focus as much attention as I could to the face,

I might have to agree with Charlie although if you desaturated the red a bit it may not be so distracting.

Love the portrait. The red could be desaturated a bit, or let go grayscale. Frankly, I would have liked the eyes and perhaps a bit on the lips colorized. The shot as is is quite arresting, and the high key look to the comp is very good.

Fantastic expression, great eyes. Well-done! But I agree with the others. You dont need the reds.

You couldn't get a better expression in a thousand tries.

I agree with the others - good capture of a great expression. I'd highlight the eyes, and do away with the red. Nice image.
