spent most of the night reading forums in digital art and retouching.
the talent on here is simply amazing.
I am left wondering how long you all have been doing this and how much time you spend on an image?

thanks for all the amazing links you have added in different topics.

would like to hear your thoughts on the image I just posted.

how does it look on your screen?
what have you used for color calibration?

any and all input is appreciated!

wasn't sure about putting the 18+ in a thread.

perhaps this is the correct way:

18+

thanks!

I think the image itself looks to flat and muted, there's nothing that's drawing attention to the subject.  That's my personal opinion of the image.  Ways you could correct this would be by using curves or levels, using more layers with different masks and blending options... something that will make her stand out.
