Some of what's done I like, but there are problems with image that
might be beyond retouching, mainly the slight camera shake.

some things that stood out to me:
A bit too aggressive with sharpening in areas like eyes and tattoos.
I like the glows and flair on the chains, but would vary size and rotation.
It would be tough, but you can soften, or eliminate hard shadow from
on camera flash.

There's a noticeable edge to the blur you applied around the hands and the arms.

GOOD: I like the fact that you left some of the moles etc on skin to maintain the realism.


BAD: excess sharpening not needed these types of images you just have to keep skin tones in tact textures is of no concern...
No to fawn of what you did to the background or the the addition of green color pallet to the eyes. Skin should have much better transitions from shadow to light around the bridge of nose and jaw line area. Color correction is still evident..Face looks painted now for some reason.-----Bad



THINGS TO POINT OUT: Next time select better images....
