Here is my retouch of the girl. Retouching should be something that looks natural like it was supposed to be that way. Hope you guys enjoy it. :-D!

Mike,

I'm always curious when people use comments like yours with regard to what retouching "should" be. I am by far no expert (I'm a cosummate "left brainer" in the Navy who dabbles in photography/retouching as a hobby to release my inner "right brain"), but shouldn't retouching (i.e. photo editing) be based upon either the desires of the client or the retoucher's personal taste/interpretation of the original photo? Retouches range from the extremely subtle (i.e. slight curves, levels adjust) to the explicit (putting a human head onto the body of a cat). While one may look "natural", the other obviously doesn't, but it could be an incredible retouch. For me, there are very few "shoulds" in retouching, but a huge number of recommendations that can improve a retouchers skill and open their eyes to various interpretations of a photo. All one has to do is sift through forums like this to see the amazing talent of many folks...and the lesser attempts of other like me. But I think everyone can learn from the good and the bad and shouldn't (oops I used the word) be locked into "should's"

Regards
Mike

BTW, I did like your retouch. Wish you had posted a higher res version so I could better see all that you did.

Hi there! This is my first post and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to enter challenges. So I apologize if I'm doing anything wrong, but here is my attempt!

Full res

I wanted to change as little as possible, and just enhance. Didn't want to change the person, so I didn't really remove birthmarks or freckles. I gave her a little more eye makeup and made her lips a bit fuller. I think she looks best with a natural look.

Comments are appreciated!
