Pink I think!

Description

From one of my favorite series of portraits of my little girl when she was 3. We had a good time playing with this pink flower! Reworked it, adjusting the tones and contrast better. Used High Pass method of sharpening. Adjusted the hue of the flower from a more peachy color to this more vibrant pink for the theme entry!
