Like an opinion on PP work

Would like a critique on the before / after effort.
(If I have managed to correctly link the photos.)
Thanks

Definite improvement over the original. Perhaps a tad more touch up on the wall where the bottles were removed.

You can copy link location and post it in the thread. It's easier for everyone that way.
Definitely better but it isn't sharp to begin with. Does look better though.

Looking now, I did some rather sloppy work on that wall. I use CS4, but have a hard time making an area match the luminance and color of the wall. I sure didn't mean to leave that piece of white spout hanging on the left edge. Did I make her teeth a litle too bright?
It was a 'spur of the moment shot', and my cam (D40) wasn't on spot-focus, soo no good focus.
Thanks for the input

For me both the teeth and whites of the eyes are a little too bright.

If cloning around an object...enlarge 300% - 400% and use a small brush size with your clone tool

The original is soft and out of focus probably due to a combination of camera shake and a slow shutter speed.
