July 06, 2012 1:21pm I think this is the best of the 4 pics you're retouched and are up on your port. Not bad, but you've certainly got a ways to still go! If I may offer a word to advice, as you're pretty new. Keep in mind, that good retouching should look as if it was not retouched. Way too many retouchers on MM who contact me, are very heavy handed at adding effects, and making shots go from looking real, to unreal, and in my opinion going overboard. I am giving you this advice, not because I think you're doing this, but because you're new and still learning your way. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but if you follow this, you'll be on a good path, I feel. Thanks for your recent comment on my underwater shot / series! Best to you!
