A Halloween Kiss

[Rpulliam]

This is a picture that I took of my daughter and one of her friends. I know the composition could be better (the boys head is kind of cut off), but with 2 year olds you don't have much time to set up a shot and this was very in the moment. Other than composition, anything you would do different? I want to enlarge this picture and frame it, so I want it to be as perfect as it can be.

Oh, and I don't have the EXIF information as I don't have my camera with me at the moment.

Cute! Did you increase the saturation in post processing? The skin tones are looking a bit cool and magenta to me, and the red channel has been completely blown out (to the point it won't print well).

I did increase the saturation through an action, but actually went back and decreased it. I need to work on the bottom right corner of her outfit, it WAY too saturated. Originally my daughters face was very pink (I am guessing from the reflection of her costume), I just selected her face it took out most of the pink. I am fairly new to photoshop, so my skill level is not very high.

Can you post a SOOC? Maybe I or someone else can give you a hand with editing, if you'd like.
