Hey guys, little feedback of this work? :)

Hey there guys!

I'm Renato, Im an amateur photographer and of course retoucher as well tryin' to improve my skills :P. You know, like many other photographers out there I just didn't feel brave enough to post something in here, I've been reading this forums for quite a while and I think it's the perfect time to ask for opinions of this simple work.

I spent a lot of time doing the post processing and I had so much fun doing the shoot but as you can see I'm no expert, it is basically -a composite- image (I think those are called that way) of the model and some "flying objects" which I did shot later.

I work under a lot of curve, levels and selective correction layers, dodge burning and skin smooth and color treatment.

The question would be; what do you think this image It is too much... like?

Hi Motionless- it looks very good in my opinion.
Nice job masking the hair.

Motionless - if you were aiming for a greeting-card style, you nailed it. I agree with mushmush about the hair, though at the image's resolution it's hard to tell for sure.

Looks really clean. May be too clean around the hair though, although agreeing with lurch; hard to tell with that res. Catching a few more those "flyhairs" can give it a more natural feel. Great job though- I like it.

Hey there! I wanna thank you all for your kind comments and well just so everybody can see it, I think it was a little hard work on the hair, I could not clean out all the hair, there you can see a higher res of this pic.

I like the lighting on the model, but only thing that really bothers me is the hand sticking out of her head.. Sorry, I know that its her other hand.. but still..
