Looks like is equivalent how much you value the retouch in the title and how many posts you get.

So...

PD: I forgot; i am a cheap amateur if someone interested.

Hey AltIvan,
I like what you've done so far. You have managed to finetune the skin without it looking overly done or fake.
One thing that many retouchers do is also remove the multiple catch lights in the eyes. Obviously it requires some tedious cloning. However, it is worth the effort. Leave the one catchlight that reflects the primary light origin. Otherwise, you'll leave a tell tale sign when the shadows don't line up with the light source direction.

Great and keep it up !

The eyes are way too white for my taste, but I can't deny that they're striking. If that was your intention, then good for you.

I think the white balance is much too cool, it should have been corrected as the very first step. Again, if that was your intention, then ignore my comment.
