Thank you! :)

I removed a portion of her freckles, i.e. the more prominent blotchy ones, but I left the ones on her cheek bone completely intact. I'm glad I removed a bunch of the others; She looks very pretty with them, but when trying to make the image warmer I found it really over emphasized them and made them look blotchier than necassery.

(In the download size, the image is very large, so you can see where they've been removed - in this size because of the additional warmth it looks just a bit more smoothed out)

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I wanted to bring out the gorgeous warm color of her hair, and I have so many versions of this image now, but obviously I don't want to make her skin look blotchy when her freckles are nice and dainty!
