    Agree with you Todd...love the angle.....wud suggest slight crop off top and right...bit overexposed resulting in loss of details in whites....thanks for sharing a delightful image...

    Tod,

    Great capture of the action and the low angle is great. I did a recrop below to strengthen the image by removing some of the FG (bottom) and BG (top) and post-processed as follows.

    1) Switch to Channels Palette.
    2) Holding done Control Key, double click on RGB layer. (Ctrl+Click the RGB channel in the Channels palette to create a selection that is based on the the luminance (or just press the Load Channel as Selection -button in the Channels palette.)
    3) Go back to the layers palette and create a curves adjustment layer. This will create a mask of the highlights that a curve adjustment can be applied to.
    4) Create a reverse s-curve. This will lower contrast in the highlights. A reverse s-curve is just what it sounds like - the reverse of a normal s-curve.
    5) I then burned inthe cheeks due to the highlights on them.

    Of course this is to the JPG. You can process this again, lowering the highlights in ACR or BBPro and using the reverse s-curve method above to influence the highlights.

    Great timing and body position here, with a good low angle. I like Robert's suggestions too. Very cute image.
