I prefer the original. On my monitor, the bright area on her forehead
is beginning to show a hint of posterization on the higher contrast
version.

Hello Shel,
Based on your recommendation, I went back and punched it up just a
bit. I think it does look just a bit better, although it has a slight
effect on the skin tones. I'm suspecting my monitor is just a shade
more contrasty than yours.
Anyway, here's the changed image:

This is my daughter. It was taken as the light was waning in the
evening. I had to use a fairly slow shutter speed and large
aperture to
get a reasonable exposure. She had just gotten her hair highlighted
and
wanted a few shots of it.
