    i think it's alright, but perhaps you can straighten the horizon in the background, nice retouch job though!

    I think you could have left some of the hair that was on her forehead in place. It gave it a more tussled look.

    I WOULD resize the doc and reposition the image to make the sunset more even. also add vibrance to colors, leaving hair intact.just a thought

    Yeah I kind of agree I know when it comes to photography you get a nice efect in portraiture from angling the camera however this only works well when using a low depth of field so the background is out of focus in many cases like this you now have a distracting line going through her head aka the horizon this image would have been better if you took the image landscape and straight with a tight crop on the models face and 3\4 of the image being the sunset and horizon with the horizon line being on her shoulders.

    Nice touch up work though all though the brown spot on her right forhead coul do with being cloned out.

    There not 'feeble', my only real issue now is the horizon line on the left is higher slightly.

    seems straight to me, there is a cloud that looks like part of the sea though.
