She'd just got to the top of the jump and was sitting on the bike. Cloned out some sensor dust spots on the sky, brightness/contrast, curves, cropped, resized and USM

Excellent capture and sharpness considering the subject has just whisked by you. Colors are great and the euphoria is evident in the ear to ear smile. Good luck!
Could some fill-in flash have removed the shadow on the face caused by the helmet? Almost a great composition, but I think she needs to be nearer the edge of the frame. Background foliage doesn't work for me.
Genuine satisfaction in this photo, and great capture, thank god for bikes, because kids are rough to capture. The follwoing things are slight detractions from this great shot, the gloves, seem not to match the rest of the shots clarity. The added smoke like effect( real or not), although cute, takes away from the subject. A funny kind of oversharpening effect on her right hand glove, which is handled well on the left hand glove, possibly the camera here. 7
