There are constantly contests in this forum with images that you can practice on.

From the Digital Art and Retouching Forum FAQ:
Where can I find images to retouch?
Where can I ask for people to retouch my images?

In general, Model Mayhem forums are not the place to ask for images or ask for retouching. (The Market forum is one exception.)

The Serious Retouch thread is one place to ask for retouching help, or to find images to retouch. See the rules in the first post before proceeding.

For general retouching requests, there is a thread in the Market Forum where retouchers can be found.

You can use Casting Calls to hire a retoucher as well; specify you're looking for a 'Photoshop Wizard'.

Google Image Search can be useful if you're only using the images for practice, and won't be displaying them.

Some of the contests in the Digital Arts and Retouching forum use high resolution images; be sure to read the rules carefully before using them, however.

There's a thread in the Photo forum on this topic as well. Unless explicitly stated, those images are for practice purposes only.
