    I captured this lovely little girl at a festival in Kinvara a couple months ago. Love to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Lovely expression on a happy little girl!

    Maybe try adjusting levels/curves some to add a little contrast?

    Thanks. I was worried I was getting carried away with curves lately so avoided using them for portraits, to keep them more natural. But I’ll give it a go and you can decide which is best.

    Which is better?

    Apologies that I’m only getting a chance to reply now!

    The second version looks better to me. You are going in the right direction but maybe need to go a little further. I took the liberty of ramping up levels/curves a bit more to see how the pic would look (maybe a smidgen too much, but you get the idea….)

    Yeah, that looks good. for some reason I’m a bit weary of overdoing it with portraits, so I kept it subtle. But I like what you’ve done with it. Nice to see someones else interpretation. thanks for taking the time.
