Default Does this require an PP?

I know this is always a question... but on this particular image, I am really confused.

Does the following image need any PP? or is it better the way it is?

And if so, what kind of PP should i try? Samples would be appreciated.

Pearl

Camera: Sony DSC-P73
Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 6 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

Thanks,
hk

On my (uncalibrated) monitor, the skin is a bit orange. I would try cooling the skin tones down a little so that they appear a little more natural.

It is a little orange. You could adjust the temperature and lighten the exposure a bit. I take a lot of pictures of babies, and if it were me, I would dodge the highlights in the eyes or at least sharpen them to make them stand out even more. This is a very cute picture as it is, these are just ways to improve it if you want to. Here is one example that is one hand:

I like the composition, but I think it is out of focus....probably due to camera shake. Maybe it's just me, but the eyes don't seem as sharp as they probably should be....I see you took this at 1/20...very hard not to get camera shake at that slow speed without a tripod.....
