Sue, this is delightful and fun. Great pose and it evokes a smile at once. Love it.would suggest a reduction in the highlights though, as well as a small bit of sharpening.
A keeper for sure and wonderful for a Christmas card. #1428980

In addition to Dale's suggestion, I'd also warm it up a bit. Otherwise, looks good! #9856545Peter W. Marks December 10, 2011
I'm smiling too Sue and just wondering what 'speech bubble' I would put on this expression. Do I have to apologise for thinking 'naughty but nice'! #9858038Joan E. Hoffman December 10, 2011
LOL... this is just great Sue... sums up the season #9858134Sue C. Cole December 10, 2011
Thank you all for your comments...there was one thing in this photograph I was looking for when I posted it and no body mentioned it so I will just say I "passed" :) yipppy. Dale when you are saying "as well as a small bit of sharpeing" are you saying to sharpen it or reduce the sharpening. #9858352Rita K. Connell December 11, 2011
what a fun shot, Sue. I agreen it sums up the season for sure. for me the only thing that could have made this better was a different tilt of the face. great capture #9859046Dale Hardin December 11, 2011
Add sharpening Sue, perhaps with the high pass filter. #9859200Beth Spencer December 11, 2011
I like the pose and also her expression. I look forward to the edits. #9860151Debbie E. Payne December 12, 2011
A really unique shot, Sue. I don't think I'd change much. But try Dale's high pass. The conversation about the "speech" bubble got me to thinking about an ornament that someone got at my sorority's Christmas exchange this past weekend...on it was the inscription, "Dear Santa...define "nice". #9861811Joan E.
