you are not retouching hair, you are making the face worse after retouching and you are claiming to provide best high end retouching...well you came to the right place to learn evilgrin

also you should credit the providers of the original images.

I didn't retouch the hair cause I think does not need it
about the face is your opinion that i did it worse and is accepted... let see if someone else has different opinion
I came to this place of course to learn taking advices not comments... just  to make an impression smile
and if you could see more carefully, I have put the copyright of the place that I took the files and the website
thanks

I think the first one is great, wonderful job smile

The second one is also great but I do think that maybe filling in the hair alittle would make it look even better!

But, I really like how you highlighted and brought her eye's out more.

Skin looks ok second one one but if that top is a close of up I would honestly rethink my skin technique for high end. There seems to be some very strange treatment just pick up a high end magazine or look for images online and try to get the skin like that. Check out Kruno's and/or Natalia's dvds maybe and learn the proper way to do it.

The first picture is the close up of the second
Honestly I have not done something strange, just some healing and D&B
can you please explain to me what is wrong with the skin?
thanks

Too many pits on skin looks bad, also try not to sharpen so much, Pits + Sharpen = Sharp Pits that's not high end.  Try to do some pixel level d&b without disturbing the highlights, take the pores down some without removing them.

Also, I want to congratulate on you on having the balls to put your work up for criticism, much, much respect.

You don't need other opinion because Koray is right.

You need more d&b on the skin, the eyes and lips looks unnatural, the hair- there is always room to make it better

I'm not a pro retoucher, so it's hard to give positive feedback, I am seeing from another point of view, and noticing what more could be done.

As an ex-magazine art director taking a quick glance I would say these need more retouching. Hair above. Couple of strands near the neck. Also in the close-up, there's still work to do on the eyebrow perhaps.

I am not a fan of the lip make-up and it's beyond my skills, but I would like to see what could be done. I'm also confused that you have copyright stamp on someone's image.
