Critique needed

[gerlach_photo]

Hi,

this is my first retouch after watching a dodge and burn dvd and i'd like to get some critique - what could be done better?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Critique needed

There seems to be very little detail left in the image. The tones are very smooth... TOO smooth. Also the face/body have a different tone, and she has no boobs, which would be fine, but looking at the shadows in your image, the boobs should have a bit more shadow as well.

It looks ok, but needs to be at like 50%.

Re: Critique needed

At some point you have to consider how you want it to look rather than what some silly dvd told you to do. Otherwise who is really in control?
