Glamour retouch challenge here!!!!

Hi peeps, this is my first image post, on Retouch Pro.
comments and critique requested

Much fun with this. I do feel the need to tell you that this is NOT a bad pic of a nice model! This is a very good portrait...you captured her expression really well. There is depth in her eyes...a sort of intelligence and beauty. Isn't that what a portrait is supposed to do?

Anyway, this is my version of your girl....

I found this earlier today and thought Id give it a shot.
I flipped the image tho as it just seemed to look better and made her look as if she was smiling a little more.

Took the first image and made a mess of it to make a background with a few colors dropped on.

Then set her off to one side.

Here is the full size print

Here's my approach. I used the chance to practise byRo's degrunging technique. I like to go for natural, maybe I overdid it? wanted a fresh look. I'll be grateful for feedback. Thanks

I showed this picture at a job interview (and the 2nd one I did, which was more 'glammed up' in an early page here in the forum) and they LOVED it

Here's my spin on things...

Last one. More make up, lashes, closer crop. Used liquify to raise eye brows and create slight smile

[EO1]

Here is my attempt. Brighter background, skin softening, cropping, eye brightening. Attempted to make an improvement, but still subtle...

THEVEED: did you get the job then???

This was a fun project, I think I spent the last two hours or so playing around with it. The biggest hurdle I had was some issues with selecting the hair so it wouldn't end up choppy and pixelated. I left some of her pores and what not in her face, just to make it a bit more real.
