Nicely done mate, just one issue for me, a little to orange in the skin, and some of the hair is clumpy in colour.
Nice work though mate.

lol thanks Motochief, and Paul, thanks for the criticism, I personally like the orange color. Makes it seem like a warm environment, and also gives her a make-up color. I didn't edit the inside of the hair either lol. I traced the outside with a clone stamp tool, and the healing brush tool to remove excess hair. I also did that too the inside.

Your image is your work mate, but you have asked for critique, and my observation of your image shows some recolour to excess in my opinion.:)

Paul, I appreciate the critique, but I didn't edit the hair. I can see what your talking about, but that is also in the original image. Maybe the model had highlights or something?

I don't like the white cloud that you have set to overlay around her face. I think it ruins the bottom of the hair, though this is just my opinion, and probably don't speak for the masses. The face is nice enough though.

Me neither. The first thing that bothered me about the original is the background, I would burn it to black (burn tool) and add a small levels or curves correction. That's it. I wouldn't add anything else, the rest is perfect the way it is in my opinion.

Yeah, thanks guys. I shouldn't have put the white cloud like stuff, but it was just something to make the image look more finished. I like Furio's idea with the black burn to the outside.

I agree with Paul - a bit too much orange in the skin. But otherwise, I think it looks great.
