Default Portrait of Daughter - Before and After

Just happened to be shooting photos while shes was playing on the floor in her pink dress. Afterward when viewing the photos I fell in love with her pose and expression in this photo. I spent several hours removing the background, but I wanted more. It was then I found some nice instructions on creating a dreamy effect. Let me know what you think.

After

For those interested, here is the link for Dreamy Effect instructions using Photoshop elements.

Aw, that's so sweet! I agree that her pose and expression are adorable. May I suggest that you crop it differently (maybe portrait instead of landscape) to get rid of some of the white?

When I printed the photo I did actually crop it to a portrait style. It was much better, and I do agree about the white. It was a bit much. As for the chin, Im not really sure how to fix that. My photoshop skills are not quite there yet.
Thanks for the input.
