My thoughts were too much make-up on the touched up image. Just a little too much smoothing. I like the before image the best. I like to take out any major blemishes but this beautiful young lady doesn't have any. Yes, I would have smoothed a bit but not quite so much. My preferences lay toward the realism look more than the super smooth look and I think that the before image is a great image and shows the real young lady better than the smoothing job. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work and have a GREAT DAY!

Photoshop the nose jewelry and you have a really nice portrait

I like the original. The processing is just a bit too much on your first photo. Too soft and you lost her warm coloring.

I have looked at both pictures and sorry, but the softened skin one to me looks too doll like. The eyebrows have faded and there is no character tin the face. On the other hand the original picture to me is great, that is how she is, a very beautiful young lady who needs no help from having skin softening done, ther is much more texture to her skin. For this picture it is a :thumbup:

Personally, I like the first one better...with more color in her face as a young girl would have. She is lovely just as she is but the after shot makes her look too pale. JMHO

I think you've done very well, lovely soft looking skin. Beware not to go too far though. She's a beautiful young woman and you've taken a beautiful image of her. I think she will be pleased. The eyes are gorgeous. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Well done George

To much skin softening, doesn't look real.
