I've done some research and compiled all the information I learned and applied it to this image. I know its easy to go overboard and I have yet still to train my eye but here is my first attempt at retouch! Feedback welcomed!

Looks good, very tastefully done. Perhaps some of the skin may be too smooth. You need to preserve (or introduce) some texture or it looks like formed plastic. Hard to judge on these lowrez images. But I love the way you didn't remove every little flaw in the face so it retains a "natural" look.Learn by teaching

Depends on the look you are going for. The technique that gives the most realistic finished image is, imho, zooming in to pore level and dodge/burn individual spots. Check out any of the beauty retouching vids on the Youtube channel by Chris Tarantino, Amy Dresser, and Lee VarisLearn by teaching

First, fantastic job. Retouching men is a touchy thing, keep texture or remove it.. I think you nailed it! I think you contoured in the right spots, Maybe a little to far on the lower jaw but it's still ok. You kept texture and its awesome! as for the lower neck area, a little D&B instead of cloning and all would be good. That's the only flaw i see. you could color treat this image in so many ways that would be awesome. but it speaks words in your skills and attention to detail as is.

Looks really good. The photo is retouched and not really focusing that it is edited. The face looks natural and toned in a perfect way. The retouching was done well and perfectly. Normally when people retouch a face they make it so smooth that people knows that this photo is edited and creates a bad impression. Retouching has to be done very lightly and you have done it right.
