Please critique my first serious retouch

[Moejoe]

Hi, here is a cropped version of a retouch I did. Tried to keep it realistic and just generally improve the image, without being overtly glamourous. In my defense I used a 13inch macbook with its trackpad so this probably effected some of my dnb and general brush work. Please give honest opinion, the harsh truth is more beneficial than sweet lie.

It is a shame that you went to all that trouble to do such a nice Retouch and left her teeth yucky and discolored.

Looking foreword to seeing much more of your work! You are off to a nice beginning.
