Sophie's face and I see no skin rash.
"Rash" was intended as a bit of humor, to point up what it seemed to me efex
pro had probably done.
She has a little bit of melted marshmallow and a few freckles.

In the color one, you can see the veins in her forehead and a little blush
on her cheeks, but that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

OK, thanks for a color version, so I can show what I'm talking about. There is, as you say, some (mottled) blush, blood
showing through, on cheeks and neck. Simply desaturating the image makes it B&W, with the blush in tonal proportion to
the color original. Compare that to the efex pro version*, where the blush has turned dark and harsh, with increased
contrast emphasizing the mottling. (And, BTW, made the already edgy bokeh on the tree worse, too.)
The rest of the B&W versions are my imagining of what I might do, were she my granddaughter, for a print. Not quite
finished work, but illustrative.
Also BTW, I find it hard to image that anyone is actually that red, so I did a, to my eye, slightly more realistic skin
tone version.
Mottled Moose
* The samples provided weren't actually the same size, so at least one is not an actual 100% original. I scaled down the
efex pro version to match, so it doesn't completely cover the others.

What if the Hokey Pokey *IS* what it's all about?
