So I recently discovered the "Challenges, Contests, and Samples" forums, ((shoosh no making fun of the noob)) and I'm excited to get to practice with such good hi-res photos.  There's only so much good stock at DevArt you know. XD  Haha, so yes, can you critique the above image?  Anything I need to work on, what am I doing right, etc.  Any input will be nice.  ^_^

Overall I think it looks great. Nice and clean and the skin still has a bit of texture.

There's a few small things that caught my eye though:

- I think the eye brows could be a little darker as they blend into her skin tone and they almost look invisible.

- I'd probably work a bit more on the lips, perhaps darken them a little bit just to give some contouring.

- And I would probably clean up the stray hairs around her neck.

- The eye lashes on her right eye darkened and as full as the ones on her left eye as you can't really see them.

- There's a small highlight on her right nostril that keeps getting my attention.

really nice work smile
i think anb retouching covered most there was to say about this.

One thing that in my opinion should be softened or removed is this one spot on her neck.

Pink in the before or after?  Actually, I see what you mean...the after right?  Haha.  XD Hmm, I'll try to fix that. XD  thank you!
