I really like it. But there are a few small things I might consider checking out particularly background the colors are breaking up I forgot what that is called. A tiny bit d&b on the nose stands out to me and a tiny bit color correction to bring the reds and yellows a little closer to each other you can try that with the selective color perhaps. Oh, I feel like u took a little to much under her right eye I might bring that back a bit it looks like she has no fold there. Maybe to do something with the ear perhaps liquify to make look nicer. Overall, nice job.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated!
yup, I can see the banding too.. I am guilty of seeing it before and not having made the change before posting
you are right too about the folds under the eyes, she looks artificial there now.
I'll liquify the ear so it's a little rounder, I see it's a little yellow on the part closer to the face.
After a second look, there is even an eyelash I added that's bugging me on the middle upper part of her left eye.
By bringing the reds and yellows closer to each other, I am not quite sure what you mean. Maybe adding some blue to the brighter side of her face so it doesnt look so yellow, is that it?
For the D&B on the nose, do you mean her right nostril (that's where I see it's a bit faked), or another part?

Thanks again for your feedback.

Peach fuzz on her nose and hard shadow line on her chin are quite distracting. I also would clean the stray hair on her ear, make the overall color less yellow and more even.

you also should lean how to display your work best possible way.

Cheers for the comment, will fix that up.
Would you know how I could save my photos so they appear like the photoshop file. I save them as compressed jpegs.. obviously does not work.

I like your approach.

Some things that really catch my eye -

1. You tried to apply uniform skin tone on the skin. Looks fake.

-The image starts to look boring.

2. There is a little color spill of it around the model's face all over, bleeding into the backdrop.

-You need to check your mask.

3. The blacks are too light for my taste and flat-ish.

Thanks for the reply.
True dat, I was a bit lazy on the mask.
I did think it started to lose life too but I couldn't tell where it came from. Blacks and too uniform it is.
I am learning so much on this photo I am going whiiiiz.
