What do you think? Any comments and crits are appreciated.
Well, considering that the original shot is underexposed by a stop or more, I guess you could say that the second shot is better - but there's still a definite lack of detail in the shadows that makes me wish you had exposed this cutie (pardon the pun) better the first time.

Rescuing a mistake is necessary, sometimes - we all have to do it. Better, though, to get the exposure right the first time... and this image would have been worth doing it right the first time.
