:clap: Lovely shot, very natural and full of life. Needs some light into the eyes, either as fill flash or reflector - popped a bit of light in

It's a lovely shot. I like the composition, and as Ron Boon has pointed out, just needed a bit of life breathing into the eyes.

thats what happens when you let a 2 year old feed herself!

when i took the picture how is it best to brighten the eyes slightly?

[oldgit]

selective mask around both eyes (additive), feather say 10 pix, then levels or curves to fettle

[ron boon]

or simply use the dodge tool set to about 10% with a large brush size and gently brush over the area:)
