heh cute baby! I noticed she has just gorgeous eyes. maybe you could use that to your advantage in future shots. zoom in a little more and bring attention to those beautiful eyes :]

Default skin is orange...

maybe it is just me but on my screen the skin tones look almost radioactive. it was hard to try to balance it out. and i'm sure someone more experienced will come closer to the right tone. but this is just an example so you can see how orange your picture looks. cute capture though ...hope this helps

Yes, I noticed the skin tone was quite orange. I think it was just the hue of of the sun combined with her skin tone which was very flushed as it was very cold out. After looking at this picture some more I did two of my own little edits here (still learning)...I'm still not sure about the crop - if it is too much or if I should go even closer. Which do you prefer, the colour or the b & w? I think I could play with the colour more to make it better but at least her skin isn't glowing anymore. I like the b & w though.

Colour Edit

B & W Edit

I love the newly cropped better... I'm a black and white fan so I love the black and white one. But, most people will say that the color one is better.

Cute shot. I like the new crop better but I think the lower left focus is kinda cool. Instead I would take your original and just crop in from the left, keeping the aspect ratio, until the building is gone in the upper left.
