What direction were you headed, Manuela? A simple retouch and clean up? Glamor?

I find the eyes, although well done, overly sharp compared to the rest of the photo.

good shot to practice cleaning up the hair, try getting rid of some flyaways, not all of them, just the ones that are distracting and the ones that your eyes are drawn to.

oh, yes only a clean up retouch
but the lips are very heavily to retouch


maybe someone want show me (or us) another idee to retouch this picture
here is a large version from my original shot
