Hey! It's been awhile since I've had time to get in here. I would love to get some critique on this picture.

BEFORE /AFTER

ThanX

The face looks nice ,

but you lost the details in the shirt.
Use the history brush to bring back some of the details.

Hi,
I find the "after" to be "richer" and "smoother." Was that airbrushed? The shirt isn't that important to me. I blur those parts of photos anyway to bring out the main subject. Did you acomplish your goal with the photo? That's the important part I feel.

i actually didnt touch up the shirt, it must be the change in contrast and colors etc etc that faded the shirt.

You did a great job. The after shot is rich and clean. I actually like the blown out shirt as it helps simplify the area around the face so the viewer will focus on the face. GREAT JOB!
