Did you have to lighten this in your processing? Without much of a crop, that's the first thing that comes to mind. Cute pose with nice detail. I might be tempted to crop a little more off the bottom as it's OOF and a slight distraction.
Very nice eye contact and colorful BG. The rock really hurts the image. Removing the noise was a good move but I would also remove whatever is in the right side of the frame.
