I very curious to see where this ends up. I think I have a top 3 but when I look at the score and see a mid 6 that makes me think 5th - 15th area. Oh well we'll see.
I would like to thank all the those that voted and commented on this image. I know a few of you said that the eyes were a little over processed but to be honest I didn't really do much to them. I actually took this photo for the eyes for a pageant entry photo, The mother wanted to sell the eyes as the little girl does have very pretty eyes.
I think this year I will start doing a before and after on all my shots. So with that said here is this before and after.

A real cutie, the colors are my favorite combination -- yellow or golden brown and blue, love it! -- and the eyes, though over-done for my taste, do jump out at the viewer.
Very cute. Terrific colors and highlights in the eyes. I love how there are details in the hat but at the brim the focus is lost so that you jump back to the eyes.
