XXS #5

Ovidiu,excellent light and details,large view shows splendid eyes and  work done very carefully,compliments.

Excellent portrait with amazing tonality. Max. Best regards.

This is a very well-taken photo, but it doesn't interest me because I don't know why you're showing it.  I think you need to go further with it.  If your goal is to make something commercial, you should also lighten the wrinkles in her neck from turning, and clean up the hair, rather than just smoothing the face.  I would also burn in the lips and nose slightly, as I think they get a little lost.

If you're showing it as a non-commercial portrait, I wouldn't touch up the image at all, aside from removing any obvious pimples or anything that might upset her.  For non-commercial portraiture, smoothing out the face eliminates most of the character that person shows.

It's hard to tell from the smoothed-out expression, but it looks like the non-retouched version would display some hesitation and unease at having her photo taken, and the less-than-perfect (although still very well-done) hair would add to that, and not take away, as it does in a commercial image.

Excellent work!
