I figure it's almost 'cheating' to submit a photo of a child
(archived or not) to any photo challenge. How can a smiling child
(especially one with a dirty face) not be a winner?

LOL, yes, but the example was the same way :)

On the
technical side, I'd like the image sharper. Remember, I've
previously admitted to extremism when it comes to sharp images.

The image is a crop, and it was shot in landscape orientation from about 8
feet, because I don't have a rotating flash bracket. That made it a tad
grainy which I fixed. Also no tripod, and while it shouldn't matter with
flash, My F4s, Tokina ATX Pro 80-200 f2.8, and the flash weigh a ton, and I
shot quite a few shots. That baby is a bundle of motion. Then also, My
pacific image PF3650 Pro3 could focus better. I think it is mostly the
scanner isn't the best. I may have drunk to much coffee also. At any rate,
I am the weak link, I can't blame my equipment much, I actually thought it
was pretty sharp :)

The shiny spot just above the right eye is a bit too noticeable
also.

Guess I should have bounced instead of filled, I could have taken it out in
PS, but that isn't really a traditional film technique.:)
