Retouching - Lighting/Skin/Background
Thanks for looking over my images, again from a test shoot i did last week. Been trying to sort out my retouching.
On this one i was trying out liqify, skin tone correction, skin smoothing, blended her hair colour a bit and then added the digital background Please could you let me know what you think of this image?  Original for comparison:

Re: Retouching - Lighting/Skin/Background
In order fully to appreciate what you've done, it's better for you to post the original so that we can compare. I agree with Chris' comment about the background, by the way.

Re: Retouching - Lighting/Skin/Background

Re: Retouching - Lighting/Skin/Background
Do you think the shot might look better if you removed some of the fly away hair too?
...just a thought.

Re: Retouching - Lighting/Skin/Background
I like it better with the original hair. I'm finding your choice of backgrounds to be conflicting with the main subject for attention. I would suggest you really tone it down to just a suggestion of a glow around the subject, similar to what you see in many portraits. The photo is about the girl after all.
