Your honest critique and suggestion for a better image next time

welcomed!

Nicely done, but her face & complexion appear too perfect

I'm with Ken on this one. The PS work on the face is overdone. She looks like a plastic doll. Also, the lighting is a bit flat.

Did you add the eye lashes? It seems you did...they are too neat...did you also whiten her eyes? Nice image to me...looks like a doll..

I didn't do any of the retouching on this photo. It was done by a retoucher that I hired. It's a pageant retoucher. They retouch the photos so that they look perfect in everyway...fake. Skin was smoothed, lips enhanced, eyes were whitened and brightened, hair was smoothed and strays removed, brows shaped.

oh...and yes, eyelashes were also added

From the second picture, I gather this is a child? If so, how sad that we begin to teach at such an early age, or believe at any age, that a person's value is based on or can be measured by beauty. Even worse, you readily admit that this is all fake.

wow john, you have a habit of delivering bitter good for nothing comments...don't u?

She is lovely and a nice portrait but far too shopped for my personal taste.
