Now for a Little Something More!

[Kasko]

OK - so the whole skin tone straight retouching thing has been fun (and rather easy for some of you) so now how about a twist? You will notice that the model is a big part of this picture - but in a small way. And she does have some issues that need to be corrected! But what will you do with everything else in this picture.... remembering that the model still needs to draw the viewers attention! Now the last part of the instructions (if you will) ..... no cropping!

I've tried twice to download the file, but PS tells me it is damaged and will only open about 1/4 of it.

Took a try at this picture also. I am not a photographer or retoucher, I settle on what looks good to me, so no doubt there are numerous techinal errors.

Great photo! I thought it was just begging for a some selective coloring...here's my take on it.

Well you did keep the focus on her! And nice job on taking care of her as well!

great photo to work on, John...thanks!

resizing really kills the detail but here's my try...

I like what you did with the surroundings... the darkened areas hep a lot. I'm having an issue only with the arm fat... I think it still needs a little rounding to be believable. Leave just a little there and then use dodge and burn to create a realistic shadow contour.

Here's my go at it...i wanted to try something different than what i thought everyone else would do...hope you like it

sorry the image has a lot of compression to get it to fit as an attachment in the forums but here's the link to the better image
