I hope I followed the guidelines given for this pic.
I tried to make it seem as if her hair was still real rather than cut out and left a few loose strands. Other than that, it was a basic retouch with a slight smoothing of the skin, teeth brightening, and a highlight on the eyes. I tried also to remove some of the yellow cast without making her look washed out. Makeup and touchup makeup was kept to a bare minimum so as to preserve the naturalness of the original photo.
Fine work Janet,
She looks great.
Those strands of hair on the shadow side avoid that cut out look.

I prefer natural. What is the factor that drives touch-up folks to create mannequin-like images? I suppose it's all in the eye of the beholder; it's all subjective.
