Hey Johhny, Welcome!
I didn't have trouble with the image maybe it was a temporary problem. We all start the way you are, I think. What you have done is awsome for a begginer. I have to say you have made some of the typical mistakes. Slightly over smooth skin. Lip looks OK but slightly over done. Nose is nice. Eyes are a nice color, but OMG the millipedes under the eyes, quick run! LOL JJ but you probably notice after looking away for a while and looking back that noone was ever meant to have lashes like that. This is why layers are nice for me. I always tend to over do things like sharpening and color correction but with layers I can go back and drop some of the effect out. All in all a very nice start, much better then I could do in the beggining. Keep at it.

Great Job.

You have the posibility to enhance a little bit the hair with D&B, but is just an opinion.
