    Little Girl Portrait

    Thoughts appreciated.

    I did a whole series for her mother recently, on two separate days.

    Great capture, if it were me I would saturate the color some more. But that is just my two cents.

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?

    I think it's a nice shot too.

    did you use a high radius when you sharpened? As in, over 1.5 px? The local contrast looks a bit off to me because there isn't much skin detail but the high-contrast areas are VERY high contrast. For instance, compare her tear-duct to her cheek.

    I think I used either 1.7px or 2px. Interesting observation about the contrast, and I agree.
