She has this red tone on her cheeks, sunburn, no make up!

I have seen this picture on other monitors and in one of them she is a bit plastic like but on my monitor and the printed version the skin is ok.

And in this one you can see how her cheeks get red sometimes:

She is beautiful and it's a wonderful portrait. Great composition and colors. I'm not a fan of the NI skin effect but still love this picture.

(Is that Gunnsi?) Quite beautiful, yes :) Lovely lighting. I like the wisps of hair catching the light.

This is way over retouched!!! Children have beautiful skin and should never require such heavy retouching. It should be sublte, it need to still look lke you subject (wrinkles and all if you are retouching older folk) You need to minimize not take every thing out. The facial expression is really nice and the light is just beautiful, but I am having a hard time getting past that retouching. Good luck.

Nice and sharp around the eyes, but the brows, nose, mouth, and hairline should be a bit sharper. Soft skin is fine, but key points of interest around the face should be sharp. Also, the zipper on the fleece is nice and sharp, leading to the impression that the sharpness around the eyes is post-processing and the softness is not intentional but due to the focal point being off. Also, the skin tone is a bit red, but that I will not knock you for, since it could be the natural skin tone of the young lady. And she is a little cutie!

Beautiful indeed! Great expression, perfect lighting. But her face looks plastic, overprocessed.

Good job on this one. The skin is perfectly soft wile the important parts are sharp. It appears the skin tone on her cheeks don't match the fore head. Looks like a pink blush has been added to the cheeks. I'm not fond of kids in makeup so I dropped it one point for that. The lips look pretty natural though I suspect its a tinted gloss. The green shirt really brings the color of her eyes out.

she looks airbrushed. I was going to tell you whether or not I liked that, but it's irrelevant, isn't it? some people will like it, some won't.

seems to ahve too much neat image or Super smoth skin. nice twinkle in the eye. I think I would have preferd the entire head in the shot. good choice of shirt color it does well with ehr skin tone for me.

Great eyes, might have looked better had the model looked away from the camera slightly and have seemed more natural, love the shot completely though and hope to see it do well. 8

I don't like the smooth skin. It looks so ugly and unrealistic.

Yes, she is lovely. I suspect the noise reduction has been overdone - for my taste.

Very nice portrait and lovely young girl !

she is gorgeous and the eys are stunning...I love the composition, but I have a gripe...neat image, I use it, I love it, but on this shot like many others, it creates such a plastic looking skin...I reckon not having it might have made it a much better shot...I am still going to give you a good score for the beauty of the shot, but it has to be a 7

Beautiful eyes but the skin looks a tad too overprocessed.
