Here's a cutie. How's 'bout a good look-see? Anything need tweaking? All comments/suggestions welcome gang!

Shadow,

Nice job and your color correction looks right, although on screen looks redder than when I download. While yours is right there is part of me that would like to have her face a little lighter. So I added a layer and changed the mode to "Overlay" and checked the box for 50% gray. I then took a paintbrush with the foreground white and an opacity of 16% (brush opacity, not the layer) and lightly went over her face.

Thanks Lynn and Margie. Will go ahead and lighten her face some more and send her home.

Realized recently that some people don't know about the Curves On-Image Adjustment Tool. I highly recommend it.
Open a Curves Adjustment Layer, select the proper Channel, click the On-Image Adjustment Tool. Place your cursor on the spot that needs adjustment. When you click the cursor changes from an eyedropper to the adjustment tool and places a point on the Curve. Move up for more, down for less.
Usually requires only very subtle moves. In this case, you might take a little red out. Then it will be too yellow, so go to the Blue Channel and add just a little Blue.

Probably easier to just use a Hue-Sat adjustment layer and reduce the saturation a little, but I wanted to post the On-Image Adjustment....

No.. I didn't know..will try it..thanks Bambi.
