these are excellent, anyone would be proud of them or happy to receive them.

for me, I find the skin a tad too soft for how sharp the eyes are. Either the eyes are oversharpened or the skin has been over softened. Maybe it's just me, might not be apparent in print.

Thanks for the input, Vcook! I try not to overdo my eyes but sometimes I still go a bit too far. I can tone them back a bit more, so thanks. As far as the skin smoothing...she is a total porcelain doll! Both these pics only have portraiture applied at about 45% opacity, so I really didn't smooth her skin much at all. Sigh...if only our skin stayed like this forever... :-)

A lovely child, but it's the personality shining through the eyes and smile that lights these two.

You did a wonderful job capturing the image and her inner beauty in both these.

I re-edited the top picture and toned down the overall sharpness, skin smoothing, eyes, as well as vibrancy. I think, after looking at it again, it was too over the top. This one should look a bit more natural. Here's the re-edit next to the old edit.

She's a cutie! Very nice images. You might want to make them a little bigger for sharing with us.

It's funny, I usually prefer subjects looking at the camera, but I really like the pose in #2.

Nice comparison and beautiful pics.

My preference is for the more natural looking edit, but there is no denying that the further processed version has a more eye cathing look to it. Wonder what the differences would look like printed.

The saturation change you made on the whites is subtle, but enough that I'm now drawn to the eyes in a positive fashion. great work!!

Super images of a truly beautiful child!

Original edits work fine for me. I see a lot of images posted here that are way too soft for my tastes. The eyes are the focal point of the image and IMHO should be sharp. Your re-edited version is fine too.

Thanks for posting. I bet the rest of the images are super as well.
