Well being just over a week old is very tiring, not that she needs beauty sleep.
Anyhow here's my effort.

Wonderful versions of this pretty baby.
I particularly like yours, Palm, the colors are great. I would have slightly smudged the baby's face though, but that's just a matter of taste. Great job!!

Thanks Craig.I oversharpened the image and then increased saturation a little.Smudged the skin and blanket duplicated the background layer and ran Topaz Clean using Crisp setting.Added a layer mask to bring back the skin and blanket.Flattened the image and then duplicated again, painted black background and then ran high pass filter and flattened. I think that's about it, it's a while since I did it so I hope I didn't forget anything.

Thanks
