First try at skin retouch

[Vafann]

This is the first time I have tried to retouch skin. I tried an inverted highpass technique tutorial, and then I tried some adjustments of my own. I was sloppy with the cutting out and the background, I was concentrating on the skin, I don´t know I well I did, is it too exaggerated?

Very nice job Vafann, nice soft blends and it all looks natural.
Theres a little bit of pixalation around the nose area, but hey first go well done.

Thank you Paul! I saw that pixelation, but that came after I posted it here, it´s not like that on my computer. I don´t understand why this keeps happening, I must be doing something wrong with either resizing, or saving for the web or something.
