Beginner Frieda

Shot in the living room with some side-lighting from the window. I tried the split toning feature on darkroom and I think it gives it a nice cool effect, while not cooling the skin tones too much. I went to town with sharpening on eye (like, sliders all the way to the right, which is something I usually never do) but as it was only local it looks fairly natural (I think).

Don't do much portraiture (I'm usually in the landscape forum) so any critique is welcome.
