This is my daughter Paige fresh from Oktober Fest here in Tulsa where she got her favorite thing, a horsey, painted on her face.
This was taken in very harsh afternoon sun. Initially I was just trying to get a pic of the face painting for mom...but once I saw the photo I was tickled with it. It has already won a first place in a local photo contest.
This is very close to what came out of the camera...I made contrast changes and knocked the red hue down a bit. There is also a slight crop to get rid of a distracting flare on the lower right corner of the original.

Great portrait. The composition is excellent with the lines of the face and hair and the placement of the eyes. The girl has a look of joy on her face and the positive mood that that creates is enhanced by the colorful painting on her face.
The saturation seems to be a little bit towards warm pink giving the photo and even warmer mood (in a good way).
