I haven't retouched anything in a while but I came across Katrin's book last night and felt like taking another shot.

Slow getting to this one -- Thanksgiving and all.

Images to small to make an assessment/critiquee, but one thing is for sure: One cannot go wrong by learning from Katrin... she's no doubt one of the best.

Welcome back into the game.

I think you did a great job

Looks good to me. Nice job! Hmm, is the right side of the background darker than the left?
