Your first image:
You did a nice job, and you didn't overdo it.
Personally I would change the background, as the wavey lines of the wood are distracting, and not a common backdrop.
You might also consider removing the black (flash) shadow along the side of her arm (on the left).
Your second image: I like that you've chosen a different background, but I would prefer a more subdued effect (just personal preference). Also, if you choose a background with similiar color and luminosity to the original, it tends to make changes less noticeable. It's often helpful to check out some websites of portrait photographers, to get some ideas for backgrounds and how the light is used.
No matter what, if you like it, go with it.

I am trying to get a flat portrait image to have more depth or liveliness and have been looking all over RP but haven't found what I'm looking for yet. I know it is here somewhere.
Thanks

by CaravaggioHello,
I am putting this in the retouching section because I think more users look at this part of RP and getting a solution is somewhat urgent for me. I am restoring an old print that has a dot print pattern on it. There is a vertical crease that runs down the center of the entire print...-
