Nora 1715

Is the retouching evident?

No, it's not evident at all. You've brightened the arms perhaps ? Or something on her dress at picture's left side ? Or you helped that big white flower to stand out more ? I don't know for sure. Another great picture here, imo. Regards.

Nice work Doug, Regards.

Besides a little complexion work, I lightened her skin with a separate layer, darkened the dress to bring out the detail, and lightened the wood with two white vignettes using marc's vignette method discussed on one his more recent uploads.

I'd say it's well done, Doug. No issue here. Nice picture.

Wonderful portrait...I like her pensive expression, it is as if she's been caught with something behind her back she's not supposed to have. As for the processing, it looks nice to me...I can't see any obvious problems, I really like how you maintained detail in her dress, even with it being a shade or two different from the white boards...nicely captured.
