I'd be interested in knowing how you retouched that ruud. It's stunning.

Took out a few blemishes (there weren't many to start with), evened out hairline, minimized shadow in nostril, thickened eyelases, tried to fix the nervous smile, otherwise going for a fairly natural look (i.e. no facial features altered)

Hi.

I don’t think she is plain at all. She is very pretty.

This is Way OTT. But she is a singer. I was thinking of her Album cover.

Wow, that's great! Fantastic work with the hand.

Nothing plain about her, she beautiful...looks like the picture was taken in a train or bus hardly the best lighting.
Basically softened and added some saturation to her skin...filed out some more eyelashes..not much more...rest is pretty much her.

looks like this thread is going to be a big one...here is my version...

just worked on blemishes, cropped it...disturbing details in background...flying hair...teeth(fixed the gap abit) overall retouch on skin(D&B)...

I had done two other versions also. Might as well throw em into the mix.

One is a BW version, and the other a desaturated approach. See what ya think.
