Fix It Friday - Number 70

Here is my edit for this week's Fix It Friday from I Heart Faces.  The original photo is darling, I just thought it needed to be warmed up a bit and sharpened as it seemed a tad soft.  The crop was challenging working around the pigtails and bows.  I debated leaving it uncropped, but I didn't like the blue blob in the upper right corner.
