I like what you've done as far as retoucher the picture. Very good job. however, flipping the image always makes faces look somewhat distorted. -Kim

Not sure about the horizontal flip distorting the face.This is what Amber sees in the mirror.
I like this.

Thanks for the comments. Went for the less is more. I couldnt decide rather i liked the color or bw version though. I found most people never notice when i picture is flipped or objects on a subject are.

I love it! It draws the attention right to the eyes. And it gives space for the eyes to wonder. And the black and white gives it the glamour feel. And it fits the rules of composition giving the image more interest. Good job!

Nice use of visual space - and creating drama. Love the contrast and simplicity.

The left cheek seems to be a bit prominent and somewhat puffy. Reducing that element ever so slightly would enhance the picture for me.

I really like it when images are flipped. (When practical.) It adds a new dimension to the image--especially when one is already familiar with it. Wonderful job!

Nice job. I like your bw version & flipping the image. My view slides on her open cheek to her eyes and to the open space from right. I like her light face free from shadows. Lips... are perfect. In fact it's really her face!
