Quality looks fine to me. I love this. Could you explain a little about what you did?

Just added some speed and a smirk....

Very clever Crex, is that a little carefully placed "Constable Snow" I see??? It certainly works well. Had not heard of it until I enjoyed your tutorials.

With all the work I did on this one, it was hard to mask and keep the reflections AND still have the work done on them.

It took a few layers, each with 33, 50, 66% layer masks over the hand/arm reflections, then a few more layers to work on..

Combinations of filters and hand (well, mouse) painted effects (I like doing a filter, then removing it and painting it back in at variable transparencies).

Finally I gave her a little smile and opened her eyes a bit.

Was it worth the effort?

I'd say it was definately worth the effort Fluffbutt

A very nice range of interpretations on this little girl.

I added a lens flare and a lighting effect to one layer to heighten the contrast in lighting and hopefully create a glowing (magical?) effect. I added a sketch layer in Hard Light mode topped by an Overlay mode where I added some light/shadows using black/white on my brush. Topped it with a dry brushed copy of the original in Overlay mode at reduced opacity.

Nice Pic I thought I'd have a go.

Don't know if the reflection that you wanted is still there, but here is one look.
