I took two portrait shots of people I came across at a local event. My post-processing involved quite heavy use of masking techniques. Did I overdo it, do you think? Or did I give them too much punch? ;)

I think they look fine, except that I would lighten her face or increase its contrast just a little bit. Perhaps some selective dodging on an overlay layer to lighten some face areas would work best.
