Im looking to gain more practice in retouching, as well as a little money. But I'm not sure if Im good enough to charge and I was wondering if I someone could look at my example see if I am good enough & or what I can do to improve.

Im not saying I have extreme talent in any way, but I was thinking of offering simple retouches, nothing too fancy.

Thank you!

not yet...practice on some close ups or mood changes...what you have done can easily be done by a photographer which means they will not need you.

Within the realm of basic imagery and simple touchup, I'd definitely say that you have some well-grounded skills.

Please keep in mind, however, that the majority of images you would retouch are likely to be extremely high resolution; that being said, your image is decidedly low-res, meaning that when you scale it down all the little imperfections, missed lines, etc. disappear within the resize. This is good and you have a good foundation (and it's not like anybody picked up a tablet one day and became an expert). As a photographer, you'll likely know the trouble areas and where retouch is likely to draw the eye as fake and whatnot.

I say go for it, you have a good start and there's always a lot of help on here!

Thanks you two! I really appreciate the feedback and the tips. Those are some issues I will definitely need to keep in mind. Thanks for taking the time to reply

Making money from retouch is extremely dificult. You should reach a level which many photographer don't have in order your services to be needed. You have a good start but you should practice on high res photos and avoid blur on skin.

how u want ppl to see u work u have an big watermark all over it
like someone was gone copy the image , from what i know ppl dont copy low resolution images pfff
