Okay, here is my try.

it is quite lovely. I've seen the photo now with many different eye colours and deciding that probably what looks best is the models natural brown, but lightened up.

having said that , the eyes work well here to capture my attention. great job

beauty. now are you able to produce this on a darker grey background?

Is this dark enough?

its GORGEOUS. all of these are great, and I have so many new contacts for retouching because of the talent in this thread.

based on my vision for this series of photos, your version of retouching comes the closest so far. thank you. one question - cropping, I do like how it focuses my attention on the model's face and hair, however would it be ok to have what you have done on the full image? what are your thoughts.

Oops, wrong thread.

lol. I saw it for a second and was like 'what? when did I take that?" lol.

no worries, cheers.

Not true, when the photographer throws pics for play/contest, you can put your logo on the retouched version [...]

Not automatically, no.

Given that you don't automatically have the right to do so, claiming it should be done is quite risky.
