OK totally ignoring my last 'retouching' post. This is a serious one so I count it as my first one. I really tried hard and am proud I finished it and didn't give up!  I still have A LOT to learn and adapt though. Here's the preview and the rollover is on my deviant art page. ( PS If anyone knows the photographer tell me please! I totally forgot where I saved it from on here, so I can rename and credit TY )  http://unsteadypixel.deviantart.com/art … -166849082 Jun 07 10 05:23 pm Link I'm not a Photoshop Wizard, but I love it. I especially like the way you edited out the distracting reflections in the glasses. I think, though, that her lower cheek needs some more work. It still has some skin... lines? that ruins the smooth look of her skin. Also, he upper lip looks almost like it was blurred, and it looks off to me.

The areas where you transformed the background against the original image have rough borders (especially around the hair and cheek). Why not reduce the glare on the rest of the glasses?

and I haven't used blur at all in this image but somehow I think I went over the top with the lips :p 
I seriously haven't used blur once and I just went slightly to retouch happy on the lips ( must control that :p )
