I feel that if you took the time to post, then you deserve some type of response..
Please keep in mind that I am a newbie here and speak only for myself; These thoughts are mine alone and in no way represents the rest of RetouchPro..

I am sure that there are many people out there that would like to see/have their pictures retouched. The fine folks here at RetouchPro would be more than happy to help you if you are having a problem with your retouching... Just as they did in your previous post with a different picture of the same girl...
They have offered many examples their capabilities within this Forum and probably feel no need to show you how well they can retouch..

If you have tried to retouch these pictures and have come across a stumbling block or need advise then please feel free to post a copy of your efforts and an explanation of your desires...

If you want to offer a challenge then it would be appropriate to check the FAQ at: http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/faq...q_new_faq_item

After saying all that, I would crop these particular pictures very tight on the face and get rid of all the extraneous stuff, then retouch to whatever extent you want.. The Plastic look, or the natural look, or whatever suits your tastes..

The following is my quickie approach to your pictures..(The eyelashes were added because of your other post and to just see if I could do them)

I have never posted before, but, here is ny take on this one.
Most of the retouching I have seen on these types of pics appears over done. I like to see something that is not so sureal.
Just my humble opinion.

The first looks a little dark

aileycat, I think you meant to put "proudly", you put "proudlt".

I noticed this because I often hit the t instead of the y key when typing.

Here are my retouches.

With the black and white I added a little bit of warmth and really tried to accentuate the darks (hair, eyes). With the color image I did a little bit of color correction, softened the hair, blended and softened the skin and tried to give her overall body and more glowing "studio light" effect.
