This is Piper, who lives with her family across the road, I approached her mother about the shoot who said it would be great, bringing her over for the shoot, her mother Nell said she would like the natural hair out of place look, as this was Piper.

The skin action seems to have softened the image giving it a too soft look, and the commenters are right, thank you all for your input.

Good try Brian, and I like that you have listened and learned something re this image. Such a sweety is this young girl, and such a freash and natural young model, thats for sure.....
A delightful pose of a lovely young lady. I think with young children, the skin action may be overkill, because they already have perfectly smooth and beautiful skin to begin with. Have you tried processing it again without that action? It really is a nice shot to begin with.
