Clarinha again

This is the first time I've been able (?) to dodge sucessfully. I have a Meopta Magnifax 4 enlarger, which is a condenser enlarger. All my previous attempts at dodging and burning had been disastrous and I was on the brink of giving it up. Then I had the "brillant" idea of using smaller apertures on the enlarger lens (I had always stuck to f/8). Today, using f/16 and having consequently longer exposure times, the thing finally seems to have worked. I'd like to know your opinion, guys. Does it show? Of course opinions regarding any other aspect of the image are welcome. Thanks!

I see no obvious signs of burning; so you have been successful, methinks. Good going.

It appears to me you dodged her face, but that's a guess. There's nothing giving it away, so I think you did a good job.
What a gorgeous, heartwarming smile that is. Makes me feel good watching it. Nice portrait!

Thanks, guys!
I'll let you in on two little secrets. Well, the first isn't really a secret, since Thomas guessed right: it was indeed her face I needed to dodge (along with the left arm). The other secret is that, although her smile really is pretty, the whole truth is she wouldn't let her front teeth show because she's just lost three of them and was ashamed of it!
