I think you've done a very good job Stav....because you haven't overdone it (i.e. the teeth and eyes are whitened but not too much). The only thing I would do would be to lessen the facial highlights, especially on the nose and right cheek. Good work.

Very very nice. I think the key is to actually hold back. Better to have the person look more human than plastic.

Very nicely done. Color is excellent and as has been mentioned, the spot healing and whitening are just right.

Great shot. And outstanding PP work. How did you learn to do this? A class, a book?

Oh, this is what i did to it too:
Changed contrast
changed Levels
Use clone tool
Saturated eyes
Darkened iris
Added saturation
Took all teh yellow saturation away from the teeth
Use healing tool
And i also used the paint tool with opacity about about 28 and flow at about the same and was taking colour samples closest to the area i was working in
