the eyes are impressively sharp and really grab you
the processing is a little sinister - the lack of saturation and the brownish toning all adds to a non-typical shot of a baby,which I like.
looks like it may have been abandoned or has lost its mummy

Hello, Mark. I noticed that you had put up a second version and felt that I could do a modification on this one. Your first version seems to have received a Marmite response. Part of the trouble with this image is the uneven light, the left is darker than the right. The blue eyes are beautiful, though. Your first processing of your niece has accentuated the natual marks on her face and I feel that it has also made her look puzzled and unhappy, whereas the second version doesn't give me that impression at all. In my modification I cropped both sides, adjusted highlights/shadows to balance out the light, adjusted levels slightly, sharpened the eyes and added a softening effect.

I don't think the tones make it look sinister but rather ... poetic; or if so, it really doesn't matter - it is your view on this and who says we should take only happy colourful photos of kids? That is why I find it very expressive and able to tell a story. And I think this is great. The photo reached its purpose - of transmitting a message.
