When she is good, she's very, very good..." I don't think she can be horrid. A real little beauty, captivated by the camera or photographer, and the photographer is captivated in turn. Nit: I like the hair across the eye, but that eye booger gotta go.
I like the warmer and shadow recovery edits shown. I think Karen's slightly warmer edit is the strongest of the two edits but your edit is greatly improved from the OP image. Which wasn't that bad to begin with.
I also would clone out the little imperfections, but then again, people photos aren't my strong point so.
