I have CS2, any suggestions... besides improve on the horrible airbrush job I did?

If ya don't like it then no worries matey! :)
Just thought to try something else.
I left the glare on. If you play with levels and rduce contrast it won't be so bad, then layer it in to the rest of the image. Either that or some healing brush used wisely. I'm a bit drunk too! (oopsy!) Lost my oldest friend today very sad so forgive any issues with edit. :cry:

The second picture, is slightly soft, but only applied to certain areas.

I ran my Lomo 2 and Soft Focus actions on it. Looks pretty good! ;)

In the OP, the skin is way over smoothed and looks plasticy especially considering the strong noise in the rest of the shot. I would knock down some highlights from the flash as well as this is only adding to the plastic feel.

I like the pose though and the eyes could really be sharpened and highlighted without going as far as in the second post.

I think he meant post the original unedited pic. I would be curious to see how it looked as well mate, before you did the airbrushing.

Your eyes look better in the 2nd shot - more vibrant. It looks like the retouching was a little heavy handed on #1.
