Are these colors and lighting okay?

If there's anything else that needs to be fixed here let me know. How is the composition? Looking for feed back on how this image can be better.

I Love it! Only thing I would change is the crop.... little lower so the elbows are not cut off. Besides that, love the exposure, lighting, pose etc. Background is not great, but not too distracting. Great pic!

Thank you. I'll have to work on composition. Her elbow were never all the way in the frame

i am with Scott on this one. Nice work.

I agree with Scott and Bruce. I'm seeing just a tad magenta in the shadows but that's just a nitpick. Nicely done.

[gturner]

Scott is right.
That black line on the window frame is unfortunate but not disastrous.

I upped the magenta tones b/c her leggings were a tad washed out maybe I should go play with the tones a bit more. I just got lightroom 3 and I have the book for it but my gosh its a difficult toll to use on my 6 year old PC. Thank you for the critiques. How I wish I had a backdrop

she's a beautiful child and i think its a great shot. have you tried a vertical crop that's tighter and eliminates her leg? that would certainly help with any background issues you have and this is nitpicky- but only one leg showing is a little strange. either way, though, i think its a nice job.

Not sure if you can mask in LR3, but in Photoshop you can mask out the skin tones after playing with saturation/colors.

Yep. You can mask with the adjustment brush. I am not sure you can change individual colors though. I'll check when I get home.
