Retouching before and after

[Burned Ice]

I did a retouching, tell me what you think?

Before:


After:


With the same saturation:


So, tell me what you think and do you have any more tips on this image?

Good job the middle 1 is slightly to saturated work on the eyes a bit more they are to white

 

[Burned Ice]

I hope it's not very obviously Ö

Hi BI. I agree with Hoog. Someone who wouldn't know wouldn't know . . . I think.
I like the fact that she seems to come forward more; has more presence. I saw the picture and I was afraid you were going to glam her up but you didn't. I think the 3rd one is too light and makes her fade. Somewhere between the 2nd and the 3rd I think would be good. But I am not an expert at retouching . . . at all.

Hi,

Just one point, I would take out the red bar that looks like an arrow going in her heas with the clone tools but as for the retouch it's self, very nicely done,

I used to be a photoshopper like you but then I took an arrow to the head.... non-9gaggers will not get it... But do you think it's disturbing?

 

[Hoogle]

OMG Arrow to the Knee is now being updated to Arrow to head is it

 

[Highlander]

Not disturbing, but slightly distracting maybe, from an otherwise excellent immage

 

[Burned Ice]

Thanks! the image also looks excellent without the retouching don't ya think?

over all good

I hadn't really noticed this, but once highlander pointed it out, I actually do find it a bit disturbing. And yeah Burned Ice, I like the before pic too.

Didn't notice that either, but it is there, only to me it looks like a grey smudge.

I followed the advise, all of them:

EDIT: missed a spot near the ear:

Nobody here says, "beautiful!" Of course, if you know her, you can tell her she was beautiful before

I couldn't agree more.
I think it's very distracting,

Comments on the removed red bar?

 

[dv8_fx]

Rework of removing the bar is good. Now it doesn't distract viewing the main subject.

Why not match the left with the right side background. That railing and box is out of place. I know, we're working you to the bone...lol... But doing manips require perfection .

 

[DoTTGaMMa]

Looks great!
But as Highlander said, the background is a bit distracting and should be dealt with...

 

[dv8_fx]

And probably soft blur the shouders to emphasise on the face more.

my 2 cents.

 

[Paul]

The whole background requires attention, the face is good though.

 

[Highlander]

Now it's almost perfect

Excellent!
