Tried to make something from this shot

My little girl, Maria, took this shot of her friend today with my Panasonic FZ38....

Just thought it might make something......has it worked?

Really nice. I like what you did with the background.

Nice, but.... some minor tweaks might help.
1) her hair isn't as grey-streaked as smudged. Makes her look considerably older than she is.
2) Some of the "fantasy eye makeup" with the glitter was lost. I think some of the impact of glitter like this is in having more rather than less. Painting some back in with some hue jitter might "anchor" the eye-corner -- tie it in with the eye, part of the eye-- rather than having it just added on outside the eye.

Just my 2 cents' worth. Overall much better smudge than I could do!

Many thanks to all for the feedback...

always appreciated.

Picking up on Bill's comments they are most helpful.

I think I need to tone down the grey in the hair...it has aged the little girl prematurely.

Also a good idea to put back some glitter as suggested.

Really grateful for the feedback and advice...best way to learn

Best wishes as always
