Yes, this is my little girl, and she has always been interested in rocks. I’m thinking she might become a future geologist.

Harsh sunlight isn't always a good thing to shoot in, but I like the way it worked out here with the sparklies. And I highly encourage your daughter to go into geology - downright fascinating stuff! (Can Ollie See Down My Pants Pocket? Tom Jones Can. Tom's Queer. A mnemonic to remember the geologic ages, starting with Cambrian, Ordivician... through Triasic, Jurrasic, Cretacious; Tertiary, Quaternary - spelling optional on most of those.)
Good try but the processing has been pushed way too far. The whites in the water have been dragged down in the Levels and the girl, whilst sharp, has been left with sharpening halos.
