Taken of my daughter while she was playing dress up. I used natural light from the windows and flash for fill. I adjusted the contrast to +10 and then increased the saturation by +10 and then applied fall color filter to make skin glow even more.

Without looking at the title I had guessed the D and L to be 'dressed up and lovely', so I was almost right and you got a message across. Excellent photo for the challenge in my opinion.
She is such a lovely girl too. Congrats!
The lighting on her skin does seem a little harsh. Hot spots on her left (our right) arm. She appears to have beautiful colored skin, but it seems a tad yellowish on her face and left arm from the lighting.
Focus is good. I like how her eyes stand out. I would like to see more distinction between the dress and the background. Not sure if some back lighting might help this? Maybe would also give her some light coming through her hair so that we could better see that from the background. See how it looks like she almost doesn't have hair cause it blends in so well? I think placing a light behind her pointing toward her back might help. Careful though that that doesn't light up the background. May be harder than it sounds.

I love the idea.
I have to admit it wasn't something I could tell from the picture without reading the title and this is lowering my vote a bit. But I like the out of the box thinking. 8

very very nice exposure. her bottom hand looks awkward to me. maybe it would feel more natural if it was playing with the pearls, which would also help lead the eye back to the face and away from the sofa cusion

Good pose and capture maybe a bit too much contrast, but I am looking at it with a shitty laptop screen so I will not mark you down for that.........8

I'd like to really see she was loving it - a big grin, something more relaxed

Sorry I'm not normally strict with challenge parameters but I think you've pushed the D&L requirement of the title a bit far here, nice pic otherwise.

This is a very nice shot. A tad of hot spot on arm but other than that beautiful.

The blue on blue is nice with her eyes. I'd desat the yellow of the skin tones just a smidge. She's a lovely girl!!
